Epic's Account Talk

Whelp.....THAT didn't work out very well at all. FU JPow. U ruined X-mas. :mad:(n)
Going back to 100% G-fund. I'm a smidge down for Dec., but not by much. Good thing I played it conservative and just went 15%C and 5%S, but now I'm back to 100% G.
Treasuries as of right now are looking good for the last day of the month, so we should get a tick UP in the G-fund from Dec. and into Jan 2025, and that's just fine with me. Anything over 4% in G, and I'm pulling in a decent monthly amount wit ZERO risk, and peace of mind.
The 10, 20, and 30 are all above 4.5%, with the 20 and 30 just below 5%. That aint bad at all. I'll take it and wait for a better time to try and enter.
Most talking heads are leery of the first half being a bit sketchy going into 2025, so I'll hide out for a bit and keep an eye on things.
Should be interesting to see if Jan 20th (National Freedom Day) catapults the Market to the moon, or creates massive volatility with all the new ways of doing things (tariffs and such). I'll be happy to watch from the side trying to figure it all out in safety, thank you very much. 😁(y)
BEST of LUCK to everyone here. Wishing all of you a very profitable 2025. LETS GO ! ! ! ! !

I'm never really sure where to post stuff like this 'cause it doesn't really fit into any of the categories. It's just more of a general information thing that may help others as I was not sure myself. I will explain 🤪:
So, I have a separate Stock Account (Fidelity), and it's linked to my Bank, but sometimes I don't want to draw from that, so I was wondering if I could make a one time withdraw from my TSP (say like 10 or 20K) to feed my Fidelity Account. I've never so much as ever taken 1 penny from my TSP, so I wasn't sure. The short answer that I found is "YES".
In looking into this, I ran across this video. He explains the different options of moving your money should you want to, for whatever reason. It's not longwinded at all. It's short and to the point (only 9 minutes long). I found it to be pretty helpful. Maybe someone else might as well. 🤓(y)
It's only a year old, so I'd assume the info is still current.

I have made a onetime partial withdrawal from my TSP account years ago when I retired the first time. I had it sent to me and of course I had to pay taxes on it come tax time.
In December I did a transfer of all my TSP to my Edward Jones account. The one thing with that was I had to have my Edward Jones information in my TSP account at least 7 days before I could start the process. Also, the money is sent in a check by snail mail.
I'm not 100% sure but I think you can make a partial withdrawal and send it right to Fidelity. If I'm wrong evilanne will correct me.

I'm not sure myself, but that's a great thought. I'll have to check it out.
I like to keep my Savings at a certain level just for Emergency liquid funds if I need it, but the Market is primed right now for some profitable investing, so having another source such as a one time Partial withdraw from TSP would be a good option.
Thanks !!! :geek:(y)

I know if you make a partial withdrawal to you there is no age limit. But from a commercial that runs on local tv I'm pretty sure he talks about 59 1/2 and you can transfer up to 90% of your TSP account to a 401K account. So, it would probably be a transfer not a partial withdrawal to your Fidelity account. If that commercial comes back on, I'll pay more attention.
