Re: 2024 Raise?

While I'm here, it's time for my annual reminder.

Make sure you know who your TSP designated beneficiaries are.

Re: 2024 Raise?

Where did you find this information ? What % was the raise? [/quote] OPM online services. I am already retired if that wasn't clear. Gross it is a 2.18 percent raise. Net it is a 2.9 percent raise but that is misleading because of the reduction in withholding. I really dislike that they adjust my Fe...

Really appreciate this information. I'm 7 years out on a left dogleg to final retirement approach. I have 2 still in high school so college may impact some decisions but I do have 529's for them so that should help. Academic scholarships are not looking good, ha. The good news is, I am just fine li...

2024 Raise?

Just reviewed my January 24 summary of benefits. Got a raise, Yahoo! But wait, they reduced my Federal withholding. This makes it look like a larger raise that it really is. And FEHB rates will go up in February. So did I really get a raise?
Now I have to amend my withholding. Why do they do this?

Medicare without SS

It is my understanding that Medicare premiums are deducted from SS benefits. What happens if you sign up for Medicare at age 65 but delay SS until 70? How do you pay your Medicare premiums if you are not receiving SS?

Re: Leave TSP for High Yield Dividend Growth ETFs

I can't find any States that treat IRA's & TSP's differently. Which States are you referring to besides Oregon? https://www.forbes.com/advisor/retirement/state-retirement-taxes/ Oregon does not tax Federal pension income earned outside of Oregon before 1991. This includes any distributions from...

Re: Leave TSP for High Yield Dividend Growth ETFs

Also check if moving from the TSP into an IRA could affect your state taxes on withdrawals. It would for me in Oregon. I can't find any States that treat IRA's & TSP's differently. Which States are you referring to besides Oregon? https://www.forbes.com/advisor/retirement/state-retirement-taxes...

Re: Cryptocurrency Revolution!

Interesting article (https://www.marketwatch.com/story/bitcoin-shorts-face-massive-losses-if-winklevosss-call-hits-the-mark-2017-12-11). Here's a funny thought. If crypto currencies really disrupt the market and disrupt traditional safe havens like gold, US treasuries and even the VIXX, wouldn't it...
