    Default "Lurker" Joining the Fray....

    Hello, Talkers !

    Found this Board after quiting my Fed job in September....Enjoying all the comments, advice, and "learning opportunities" on what to do with my FERS/TSP balance (although I don't yet understand 95% of what I read )

    Stoplight,

    Welcome. Read the boards and find those who have investment stategies that you are comfortable with. There are folks here from conservative to aggresive when it come to investing. Good Luck.

    Welcome Aboard, Stoplight-

    Did you quit your fed job, or are you retired?

    Different strategies depending on the answer- and how long before you need your money.

    Nice to have you aboard- this is the place to learn.

    Good luck, and happy investing....

    Thanks for the "welcome", nnuut, whitemingo, Frixxxx, Show-me, EW, and James ! I look forward to learning.....

    James : Unusual case, perhaps ....quit, but eventually eligible for retirement

    I just got burned out at my last job. I have enough years to pull a pension, but only when I turn 60 (7 years)....I let my pension money ride rather than cash out. Right now, I'm mulling over my options, including the possibility of going back to the Feds, but in a different agency/job/location.
