Hello Peeps

[moeniogt]

Hi peeps, I am a 35 yr old....just started my job in Aerospace 3yrs ago, didn't even know what TSP was. I just started getting smart about my retirement and stocks. I am frankly mad I didnt start as soon as I started the job. Seems like everyone at work is too laidback about their TSP account, and didn't know how to answer my questions or mentor me (either that or they have secret strategies that they just don't share). I have decided to become proactive and actively manage my account to get as much as I can out of it. I think I am at a good stage where I can be aggressive in my investments and later when I get closer to retiring I can adjust to be being more conservative. I have a couple of ideas and hope to bounce off you guys to see if they make sense, and learn from your experience.....I am very excited about this. Anyways, just introducing myself. Thanks for letting me join!

Welcome to the forum! There is a lot of good information here. At first it may seem like you're drinking from a fire hose, but after a while you'll start understanding more and more. I'm confident that you'll become a better investor as a result of learning from all the good people here.

Good luck with your investments!

Except for the aerospace part, that's an exact description of my situation at this time last year! I didn't make much money last year, but learned a lot from my elders. Maybe you can make both happen. Good to have you aboard.

I believe that their secret strategy is to buy and hold G Fund
