The article quote:
"Well known investment guru John Bogle (founder of Vanguard Funds) said that the TSP’s index funds are a great way to invest. In an interview ten years ago, Bogle stated that the TSP is “…as close to a perfect retirement plan as you can have….”
TSP is not even our "retirement plan".
Its only 1 of 3 retirement vehicles we have. FERS defined pension, for most people, who sadly don't contribute too much, invest poorly, or withdraw early with penalty for personal reasons, will be their largest monthly portion.
It probably would be appropriate to say "FERS" is as close to a perfect retirement plan one could have...the stability of the FERS pension and Social Security monthly payments, combined with the potential to accumulate a million dollars in your TSP if you do things right.
