can't say enough bad about the new TSP website

Post by Bubba »

There are so many things that I cannot stand...but now a new one just entered my orbit. When making a funds transfer, you have to be very, very careful. I went from 100% G (a few weeks ago) to what I thought was 50% G and 50% C. Given how clunky the website is, it actually went to 75% G and 25% C. Why? Because when I selected this new setup, it asked me how much I wanted to go. So, I put 50% C. What it instead understood was 50% of 50%.

I'm beyond tired of someone that tells me that business always has the solution to government. Everything worked perfectly until this Alight change over. Anyone else remember the FUBAR wording from Saving Private Ryan???

You're not alone. Took me a while to figure out the nuances of the portions of the site I use most frequently too.

Hmm...i plan to make a couple more IFTs beyond my standard 2 this month (both to incrementally increase my G allocations). Let's see if that allowed exception still works in the new platform. IF not, well.....

It looks like you have to sign up for the mutual fund window before you can even see the available mutual funds. Is that right? Struggled trying to see what they offer. Not that I'd buy any cause they're a ripoff. Just for sh#$% and giggles.

Yes you have to sign up for it which I did to look around. I will never be transferring any money to the window.
I am just an average Joe. I have no clue to what the market will do.
