I have recently started with the DoD and I am in the midst of going over my TSP paperwork.  I was wondering what you all are doing.  Are you playing it safe in the "G" fund or are you being a little risky?  Still trying to figure this thing out.

** TSP is analogous to 401K, for those who are not with the Feds but want to chime in.

L2040 playa.  G fund is a waste of your time, you're losing money based on inflation.  you're not gonna retire for like 30 years so even if the market goes down you'll have plenty of time to make it up.

I'm 30 in C, I, S (think it's S lol) and 5 in G and L2040. What should I change. I'm 22.

For you guys that don't know lifecycle funds (L2010, L2020, etc) will allocate to the various sectors c, i, f, g, etc...  as you get closer to retirement it will become more conservative for you (meaning more g fund), but as you start out it will be more aggressive with c fund, i fund, etc.

Wow good to see other DoD employees here. I was a DoD contractor in Operation Iraqi Freedom,  but now I JUST got the official word last week...I'm going full on Fed Gov't Employee. I hear so much of the Thrift Savings Plan, I guess I'll get more info during orientation, but my fellow DoD'ers on NT please fill me in...in laymen terms so I will at least have an idea what's going on during orientation

NUPE,

I just started myself and finished orientation a couple of weeks ago.  I didnt learn much at all about the TSP through that orientation.  I just talked it through with some of my friends and family.  To be honest I as am still unsure about it.  But I will be going into L2040.  Where are you stationed at?
