That's just it though: We need to care and caring about our retirement/lifestyle is what makes us invest.... We need to voice our opinion when we can. I know the two weeks of down trend would have been a "G" position, but I really wanted control of MY money, when I think it needs to move to make the best of MY retirement. I'm not CSRS, I don't have that retirement package. I need to make the most of what I try and save.
Can I be anymore clearer?

That's just it though, We need to care, and it needs to be in OUR control. Voicing our opinions about our money and the retirement/lifestyle we try to attain. I want control over my money, because it's MINE.

When I don't get a retirement package of 75%+, I need a way to maximize my position.

Can I be any clearer?

Good one CB!
Sorry for the double post...computer froze!

Just wait until you're retired FERS and the biggest chunk of your retirement dollars are coming from an account chained to a 2 IFT limit. :worried:

I usually try to end with a chuckle, but there's nothing funny about that.

Lady, This is what is giving me the kick in the rear I need to start my own business. That way I get rewarded by how I work and not how Barcl....um others don't work for me.

I've done the math on retirement and what my stipend will be from the government. Early estimates at 31 years is: 1800/month. Tax that and what I have left over won't pay half my flippin medical. Make me pay into my own reitrement and then tell me I'm limited at that!!!

Hey Frixxxx,

I still care, I guess I should've said something like " not get so worked up about things I can't control" . The election is still 2 weeks away and the Dems have already solved the social security crisis, by taxing us another 5%, plus take away the tax deduction for our other retirement savings. Anyway you look at it that is another tax increased, they are just trying to put the lipstick on the pig.

I guess this is the change obama talks about, another real no brainer of a spectacular economic program plan. It's a shame that the media doesn't cover this. If folks realized what that their retirement savings plans are in the bullseye of the Dems new economic program, poll numbers sure would change.

I'll still continue to write letters to my worthless representatives. I put my money in the TSP with certain understandings, and we are being lied to and cheated out of OUR money, if the Dems have there way. I don't know what you would call it, when someone tells you what you have to do with what you own or have earned retirement funds that had some protection from yhe greedy pols? I'm open to options here.

I'm just going to put more effort and research into finding another option to protect MY retirement money from being STOLEN from me, and this board is a great source of ideas, cause we are all in the same boat and most are really upset with the thought that the Dmes are eyeballing our retirement money.

Don't worry about the double post, heck I always have to edit my spelling. :laugh:

Have a good day Frixxx,

CB
