Feds in 40s - tell me about your TSP

[Anonymous]

I have 447k in my TSP. I'm 49. I only was a fed for 8 years a long time ago.

So, more relevant, DH has 880k, mostly in C.

Sorry, dumb question, but does this mean you’re putting in extra contributions beyond the untaxed contribution amount ($31,000 or whatever it currently is for people above 50)?

A little over a million (at 51). Mostly lifecycle funds, some C, and some I funds too.

46 years old with $800k in the lifecycle 2040, should probably have been less conservative given our pension

49 with $850K. Life cycle funds.

Worked for Feds with most of my careers except for maybe 5 years.

41, $700K in lifecycle 2040, 2050 and 2065.

46, $1.07M, 70 percent S, 30 C. I have some residual in G, F, and I, but not adding more. I have also taken one or two tsp loans when the market was down.

Why not?!

42 with $670k in L2050. Started contributing at 27 and started maxing out 10 years ago.

The extra amount is probably from their investment returns.

49, 700k. 80% in C, the rest split between S and I.

I've been a fed for 20 yrs and in my earlier yrs stupidly parked all of my contributions in the G fund. That's probably one of the worst financial mistakes I've made.

if they put in 60,000 over two years, and also got the 5% matching, depending on what their salary is they should have had around $76,000 in deposits over two full years.

My husband did that too—just didn’t know any better. When we got married I started taking over everything finance-related and we moved everything to C. Now they don’t let people start in G fund, so that’s good.
