    100% C. It’s an index fund made up of 500 biggest companies on the market. That’s pretty diverse and it historically outperforms S and I. $350 a pay period in C for 25yrs should make you a millionaire.

    My game plan is the following : 1 million in the C fund , 200k in the G fund .. retire at 62...take 40,000 out of the C fund each year for life and adjust to inflation each year appx 3% .. if the G fund drops like crazy , such as in 2008, 2009 etc , take money out of the G fund during the terrible C fund market conditions. In reviewing history data .. the C fund which tracks the SNP 500 averages has been up 10-11% average per year and inflation has increased 3% .. so one can really take out 7% per year of the C fund and be good to go. This is my plan to retire at 62 and collect $ 5,000 per month, pension and SS. Have low or no debt .... does this make sense ??

    I was one of the first federal employee's to be switched away from the CSRS and placed in the FERs system back in 1987. Feeling jaded, I agressivelty funded my TSP throughout my career at 80%C, 10%I and 10%S all the way up to my retirement. In retirement, I've switched to a 70% stock 30% bond portfolio, with a 3.5% withdrawal rate and my portfolio continues to grow to the point I have a concern of having too much in the TSP when I eventually reach my RMD age (having too much money introduces other problems). But I've never imagined having this much income in retirement and so glad I got to be a part of the FERs vice CSRS system.

    3:00 can you talk more about this please? I had the same question about the dividends. It’s kind of confusing. In retirement could it make sense to take your money out of tsp and into a IRA to get dividend income in something like SCHD?

    Can’t wait till I can roll my TSP over to a better platform. Not sure if I can do that at 59.5 or when I retire? C fund is the only real option. Wish I could invest in growth and dividends in the TSP.

      You may move your TSP balance to IRA as soon as you leave federal service. There's also the TSP Mutual Fund Window but that's a horribly expensive option that's wise to avoid: $150 annual fees + $28.75 per trade.

    I recommend 100% C fund to all my soldiers. I am a staff sergeant with 7 years in the Army and sitting at a 250k liquid net worth.
    Edit: Once the nest egg is built up, MAYBE switch to bonds or L fund if you are worried about losing money at that point.
