Not a good start in the market to end the week but let's hope we can get some green by the end of the day. So far the week has come out mixed.

Everybody have a safe Memorial Weekend.

Glad I got out of the "I" fund last week. Even though it was only 30%.

I'm 100% "S" fund and will still take a hit but not as bad as it would have been. I was CSI 40/30/30.

With what is going on again in the EU, ready to get out?

Thanks PO. Happy Belated Birthday to you. Life gets in the way sometimes, doesn't it?

Hope you had a great day.

Worked hard all day in the yard and then took the wife to Red Robin for my free birthday burger. :laugh:

Officials Outline Plans to Loosen TSP Withdrawal Rules

Full implementation setup scheduled right about the month I've been planning to pull the plug. Unless I go sooner, I hit 62 about 6mos earlier than Sept 2019. Would be nice to have all the new rules in place before I pull the plug, would help with financial planning certainty around timing of the new rules. As is, I don't want to make any big withdrawal decisions until the new rules are all firmly in place. timing is everything at this point, time's awasting. I'm starting to chomp at the bit.
