Moved to 100% G today. Up about 2.5% for the month, a lot of small gains make for a great year. I think the pace is unsustainable, there's going to be some volatility and an opportunity to rebuy in the next 4 weeks.

My goal for the next 6 years until I retire is to make 8% per year. Last year, I missed out on a great year by being out of the market too much; but my PIP was still 10.57%. The 2.5% so far this month is over 1/4 of my annual goal; of course I'd like to make more but sometimes holding on to a guaranteed gain is the better course over hoping for some more. I have a lot of confidence there will be some volatility in the coming month that will give an opportunity to rebuy and start the gain cycle again.
 
Well, I topped $400,000 by $2 today in my TSP account. Going to G yesterday gave me the little boost to make it today!

My goal is to double that in the next 6 years, will give me an adequate retirement.
 
I remained in the 2020 fund and still made money today...that fund has amazed me a few times in its ability to balance risk. Sitting in the G fund and then the lifetime fund most of the year (2020 starting november) I made about 5% last year. I would like to get at least 8% to have a comfortable retirement.
