[quote=Anonymous]I'm also a fed. I've got about 8 weeks paid, and then I'll be taking 4 weeks LWOP. Did you remember to count the days of leave you will accrue while on annual/sick leave? If not, you'll get a few extra days there. I think you should definitely reduce your contributions to TSP. I'd cut it down to the 5% needed to get the full matching amount. Then take the rest in your pocket. Start now so you can save the extra cash to use on LWOP. I was initially going to only take 8 weeks, taking the least amount of LWOP possible, but then I realized it is more important to me to spend extra time with the baby, relax, get into a routine, and make sure baby has settled into the world. (Plus what you mentioned - I can't imagine working while being so sleep deprived.)[/quote]
