📣Tip Of The Day 📣 The number of TSP millionaires increased in the first 2 quarters of 2024. There are approximately 117,000 Thrift Saving Plan (TSP) Millionaires. They make up about two percent of approximately 6.9 million active TSP participants. This is an elite club of federal employees who have worked a 25–30 year federal career. This is thanks to a combination of factors, including: - Strong market performance - Increased contribution limits - Employer matching contributions - Growing awareness of retirement planning Want to join the ranks of TSP millionaires? Start by: - Contributing consistently: Even small amounts can make a big difference over time. - Diversifying your investments: Spread your money across different asset classes to manage risk. - Understanding the 5% matching contributions: Take advantage of this free money! - Get to know the funds inside your TSP: 5 Funds and one Fund manager. - Traditional TSP vs ROTH TSP: Tax free growth vs tax deferred growth, this can save a lot of money in retirement. - Seeking professional advice: A federal benefits advisor can help you create a personalized federal retirement plan. Are you on track to reach your retirement goals? Let's discuss! #TSP #retirementplanning #financialgoals #FERS #investment #retirementadvice #FERSretirement #TSPplanning

📣Tip Of The Day 📣 TSP: Million-Dollar Myth vs. Reality While many believe a million-dollar TSP balance is essential for retirement, I've seen people retire comfortably without ever contributing a penny to their TSP. The key lies in a holistic financial strategy that considers multiple factors: - Savings and Investments: Beyond the TSP, explore other investment options like stocks, bonds, and/or real estate. - Income Sources: Consider part-time work, rental income, or other sources of income in retirement. - Lifestyle: Adjust your lifestyle to align with your retirement goals. - Professional Advice: Consult with a federal benefits advisor to create a personalized plan. Don't let the million-dollar myth discourage you. Your retirement journey is unique. Let's discuss your specific situation and create a tailored strategy. #retirementplanning #TSP #financialadvice #FERS #financialfreedom #retirementgoals #TSPplanning #FERSretirement
