[quote=Anonymous]63, 23 years a fed, $900K, FERS  all in C, S & I.  Contribute the max every year since started, including catch-up when eligible.  I recently moved all contributions to Roth (added 7K income taxes - ouch!) b/c TSP moderization act will enable us starting in 2019 or so to pull just the Roth funds from TSP (in-service, if 59-1/2 YO, and your Roth IRA was open at least 5 years) as a qualified withdrawal which will be trustee-to-trustee (so no tax or fee).  My Roth IRA is at Fidelity and zero cost to maintain because it is 100% in stocks.  I make too much money now to contribute so this plan to divert Roth TSP is my only way to add to my Roth IRA which I want to do as all withdrawals are tax-free and you never have to touch it (no MRD for Roth IRA). It will reduce the amount in TSP tax deferred, which is the bulk of my TSP now but that's OK I should still have enough.
For the record, started in 1995 as a GS-5 clerk and worked my way up over the years.  It is very hard to get promoted but you can do it if you work hard enough and figure out what your bosses want.  I never had to sell my soul but just the same, look forward to retiring in 5 years or so.  [/quote]
