    Default Howdy TSP Talk - Coal Valley, IL

    I am a double retiree and loving it at age 47.. I have done pretty well these past years with TSP by just watching the trends and moving every 6 months or so.. I just moved half into the I fund and the other half I left in C.. Do you think I am on track? I welcome other analysis.
    Blessings.. Rev. Jerry Higdon, (SFC-R), Coal Valley, IL

    Welcome aboard-

    Not sure if that is a good place, or a bad place to be right now, but, like the rest of us, we're all in this thing together. Good luck!

    I guess you'll have much higher authorities to ask for help and advice than us. :-)

    Be sure to let us know what He says.......

    He says.. He loves you.. and is much more concerned about your eternity than your money.. However.. use it wisely.. don't steal.. don't burry it.. invest well.. obey the laws of the land.. Pay the first tenth to the church.. support the widows and orphans.. Don't horde.. go for the win win.. don't exaggerate.. respect others resources.. give and it will be given.. and don't put pearls on a swine..

    See? You already had that answer, right there before you.

    If you liked the book, you are going to love the reality.

    keep a close eye on major plunges, especially in the I. It's your money, watch the leaderboard ,
