How much do you have in your account?

I found the "How much you have lost poll" interesting. However, how much do people have invested in TSP? A $3K loss against a $6K account is a big deal. A $3K loss against a $200K account is not.

What is your thinking here Rokid? Do you think that more-or-less the same members who answered the'how much $$lost' wouldrespond to this poll? I ask because you stated you thought the relativeness of loss to acc't balance was the significant factor.

PS Can I make a suggestion? I think the levels between $100K and $500K should only increase at the minimum (or maximum?)of $100K at a time. Tom can change it for you and I noticed that one can not vote twice but they can change their vote. So if the questions change the individual member can make the necessary correction.

My guess is that the average "active" poster on this board is 35 years old, has between $100k and $150k in the TSP, and is down 2-3% for the year. I guess the next relevant poll would be "how many years do you have before retirement"?

No Dogdaddy, I'd want to know next "How's Your Health and Do You Expect To Die Soon?"

WW,

Yes, that was myhope.

Good idea. Tom, would you make the adjustment per WW specifications?

I made a change but couldn't add additional lines. It may have messed up some votes as WW said. Hope that is what you wanted.

If we get a nice rally this week (> 1.5%) I'll get to change my vote.

Wow! I'm ready to follow the people with $300-400K in their account. They must be doing something right.

Thank you for noting that it was "uncharacteristic..." for me. I hope that's what you meant. I apologize.I have been having a difficult time here. I lost a lot of $$$ andthen I started getting flamed by another member for no reason. As a matter after the fact, I was temporarily banned from this site and I amcontinuing to experience harassing behavior from this individual off the board. I guess my input siignals and output signals got crossed. I appreciate your mature manner of expressing yourself regarding this matter.

WW, You really shouldn't get so upset. It's only money.
And it sounds like you better off than a lot of the people here.
Have a good week !

Uncharacteristic for a Class Lady, like you, was exactly what I meant to say. Your apology is appreciated and accepted. Hang in there and don't let the buttheads get you down....They're the ones who should be banned for their immature, unprofessional behavior. :^

Maybe you should come out west WW. Out here more boys been in fights and gun scraps and a few even hung for being disrespectful to a lady. One thing though about the stockmarket it don't care what gender, color or if your good or bad it just keeps on a loping along.

For future reference to all, using the F-word in big bold letters will get you a "time out" every time. :x

We need a nice rally this week to put us all in a better mood.

I'm 62, have $ 164,000 in my account, switched to FERS in 1996 after 22 years CSRS to give me money to work with when I retire as opposed to a more hefty annuity.

Regardless of how long I live (I planning on doing everything I want by age 70, everything else is gravy if I'm healthy)), doesn'tmy TSP account go to wife/heirs?

I'm a gambler using C, S or I. Enjoy this site.
