[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How did you all save several millions of dollars being feds? I am also a fed and I’m not sure how this is possible.[/quote] 1) I made a few million in the dotcom years beforehand. Spent a lot of it on divorce and elder care, but it made life easier when I had it. 2) Just focusing on my fed career, I should have ~2-3million in my TSP when I retire, but I work for a financial regulator as a 14-equivalent. So I'll have put the annual max away in my TSP for 25 years AND get an additional 3-5% in employer matching. I currently have around 650k in the TSP after 9 years. 3) You should probably also put some money in the market in a taxable account if you can. A lot harder if you have to fund 529s.[/quote]
