the question you need to ask yourself about retirement is this: 3 years from now will it matter?

.... the good part about freedom and life's path is you get to decide how you walk it. that is about the only piece of advice i ever got that made sense. except for when my mom told me wear a condom, that has proven itself invaluable countless times in the last 30 years.

I guess, the beauty of reaching the magic "30" is I can say anytime, "F" this, I am done!

I reached that magical number this past January. I'm burning my uniforms 12/31/2015.....signed, sealed, delivered I'm gone!

Life's too short, enjoy it now, not 3 years from now.

Alas, I still have 7 months to go before I can say...shove it up the wazoo...maybe I'll stay until I have my maximum annual leave saved..
Goal to Retirement: 760 hours by end of 201?.

Read through that article and I'm currently in Pennsylvania, looking to move to South Carolina/Georgia in a few years with my wife to continue our careers there. Nice seeing Columbia, SC on that.

Hey maui, we might be neighbors. I live near Phila Airport...

RETIREMENT and HOUSING

Upon retirement, we plan to sell our house and buy a smaller house.
1. Should we invest the proceeds (equity) in the stock market and apply for a mortgage to buy the smaller house?
Currently, my APR is 2.99% and the probability of getting the same APR or slightly higher (3.49%) is 85%.
2. Or should we use the proceeds to outright buy the house?

Right now, the option to stay in the house is not so appealing despite the low APR.
1. Too many bedrooms and bathrooms to clean;
2. Summer - Almost 2 hours to mow the grass (I have no riding mower) and weed out the flower garden;
3. Winter – shoveling snow is a pain in the back even with a snow removal machine
4. Winter gas and summer electric bill, $400/month (spring and fall seasons is between $180.00-$240.00);
5. Taxes $8300 per annum (school, county and township);
6. Home insurance –not too bad $1100.00 per annum.

Why wait for retirement? Take a road trip to south Florida. :drive:

Something is wrong with TSP website...it is not updated yet. Usually when I wake up at 4am, new transfers and gains/losses are already posted. Was it hacked, too?

I show yesterday's numbers. Something specific you can call out? 0600 (Eastern)

I am confused.. even up to now 0620EST, it is not updated. It is still showing 6/19. But if go to to Recent Transactions, it shows IFTs that I did yesterday with my new balance.

I guess I am not the only one---even Frixxxx is having the same issue.

No, I show 6/22 numbers on tsptalk.com share prices and tsp.gov.....

 

[Maricar19]

Yeah..share prices are updated. It is the TSP personal account itself that is not updated. It is showing 6/19 on my Account Balance and Activity Summary.
Although Recent Transactions show my IFT from yesterday and my new balance as of 6/22.

Emphasis added.

So...I guess you're figurin' I fund is 'done' for this month?
