Hello from Southern AZ

Post by Steve3100 »

New guy here from the Tucson area. Retired Navy Officer, gained access to TSP during a short stint as a Fed Civilian after 11 years in Private sector. Just rolled over entire Fidelity IRA into TSP. Made the decision due to desire for simplification, much lower costs, and to have everything in one place. I have minor concerns because TSP is more restrictive, but believe I can work within the system successfully.

Would love to hear about any helpful tools you use in addition to those on the TSP website. And if any of you feel strongly (either way) about any of the "TSP Advisory Services" out there, your opinions would be appreciated. I do like to tinker, and always closely follow my investments (daily). Looking forward to learning from and contributing to the forums here.

Begin playing the Fantasy Game.

Are you still working or are you retired?

Crondanet5,
I have been retired since 2014. Yes, I think the TSP Fantasy Game is a good idea.
Thanks,
Steve

Playing the Fantasy Game is very important as you no longer contribute money to your TSP Account. It is all how you invest that determines how much your Account grows. Hope you are saving it for over 80 medical care.
