59, 29 1/2 years (including a 9 year military time purchase), FERS, $700k tsp, $100k+ pre fed IRA, $60k ROTH, maybe $600k cash, widowed. GS13 10 for years; about to plug the plug because I don't feel I'm valued (IT security since 1994).

Been doing max catch-up since 54.

57, $700,000 in the TSP, plus more in regular and Roth IRAs. I think I have 25 years of service, but I was out of the government around 7 years. I have always maxed out, and I do a partial over 50 catch up ($3,000 instead of the Max).

32 years old, contributed for 9 years, TSP at $120k now. I only maxed out a couple of those years, now I'm just doing 5% for the matching.

52 years old, been a fed for 23 years. $875 in my TSP. Did not always put in the max allowed, but am doing the catch up contribution for the third straight year now that I'm old enough.

I'm 44 and have $585K. Been in the govt for almost 20 years and have maxed or close to it every year. PP, that's amazing- don't think I'll be where you are in 5 years, but hope to break the $1M mark by then!

Am one of these. 25+ years of service, have maxed out every year.

Am all equity all the time (some painful dips after October 2007). Haven't looked recently but somewhere in the range of $1.8 to $2 million. Have other equity investments (including a variable annuity), close to a year's salary in cash and a small real estate investment.

No mortgage, no debt. Firm believer in living below one's means. Paid cash for a new car (a midlevel Honda) that is now 12 years old.

Thanks to OP for starting this topic!


*Update*

31, 8 years, 100K in TSP. 14K in IRA (losing money there...Ukrainian/Russian crisis, argh). I've always contributed 10% at work, can only imagine what I'd have if I maxed!
