I had wanted to enter December in the market but both C & S still look top heavy right now. I Fund looks like it has room to rise but can't seam to get over the 200 DMA.

I was toying with the F Fund but it looks like it's headed back down. Maybe I'll forget about it and stay in G until I can get a better entry point.

That's a smart move Cactus. Since I've remained in S, F and L2050 since August, I will ride F out a little longer. Figure it can't et worse, but we will see.
 
I think that if at that point in your career you can max it out in 6 months time and use "savings money" to pay bills, and every day expenses, that's a great idea to get 1 more year of benefits and a boost to your 401K at the last minute. Because in all actuality you can turn right around and start withdrawing the money ASAP so it's basically right in your bank account anyway, and tax-deferred (for a bit longer).

Interesting article and comments for those interested in maxing out their TSP contribution in the last year before retirement: Can I 'Double Up' My TSP Contributions If I Retire During the Year I Turn 70 and a Half? : FedSmith.com

Except there is NO WAY I am working to 70 1/2 !!
But there is another article that is more appropriate for those of us retiring closer to 62.
Should I Put My TSP Into an IRA So I Can Retire When I Want? : FedSmith.com
I may leave some in TSP, but the majority will probably go to my Vanguard IRA. :cool:

You must be doing better than I am with your retirement investing then. As for me, it looks like I will be working past 62 but I hope not to 70 1/2. It all depends on what happens to our retirement and health care coverage between now and then. :notrust:
 
I just received this email purportedly from TSP. Instead of comming from a .gov address it came from: tsp@public.govdelivery.com.

I was wondering if anyone else got it.

Yeah, I can't see anything dangerous in the links, but I also thought it sounded kind of fishy.

This would be the first time they emailed anything unsolicited. Everything else I have them snail-mail to me.
 
if it came with two popups of boobs and a chat line connect, i would click that link. all. night. long.

but we may have different priorities and other things to lose. as luck would have it, i got nothing to lose, so that is what i consider freedom. and it comes with boobs! to each their own.
 
If you can find somewhere on the TSP website to inter personal info that's the ONLY place I would give it to anyone. They do send me conformation of IFTs by email if you get those they already have your email address.
 
Actually it is ustsp at what you posted. TSP has been using it since at least July 2015. If it was just tsp at what you posted this is different.

Company is called Granicus. Admin dot govdelivery dot com will get you there. Just another .gov contractor causing people to violate the cyber security rules preached daily at the j o b. Just one more place that has your info.
