    Share Your TSP Balance and Your Age Thread

    Hi Guys, Thought I would throw in my two cents worth. I'm 58 and only started working for the government since 2006 so my TSP balance is about 245K. Before that I worked private industry and my 401K with my old employer is about 600k. When I first started out saving I thought I was doing...

    Should you transfer to the I fund?

    Well I decided that I would make a bold financial move that would make sense and hopefully pay off in the end. Using all of my market know how and expertise in timing the markets.....I decided to do nothing. :D

    Should you transfer to the I fund?

    I'm starting to see some action in the I-Fund price over the last week. Thinking about doing an inter-fund transfer going from 100% S to 50% each S and I. Any thoughts from any of the esteemed members of this board?

    Should you transfer to the I fund?

    I exited the I fund last friday (6-6-13) and decided to go 100% S-Fund. The overseas markets seemed to go up early monday so we will see how the I-Fund responds this week :cool:.

    Should you transfer to the I fund?

    Should you transfer to the I fund?

    Another question that I have is can I use "ishares MSCI EAFE Index (EFA)" to use as a tool to track the "EAFE" component for the I fund? If I go to the Yahoo Financials site and type in "EFA" it brings up the index and is very quick and simple to use. Any thoughts from the members of this...

    Should you transfer to the I fund?

    I'm still having a hard time figuring out the I-Fund and hope you guys can help me out here? How does the yield going up on the T-bill impact the price of the dollar? If the price of the dollar goes down then the I fund should go up right? Thanks

    17,500 TSP yearly limit, how to split between Roth 401k and TSP?

    That is the $10 dollar question that probably depends on what you are currently making right now and on what tax bracket you may be in.
