You seem like you're on the right track Charlie. I wish I'd paid more attention when I was 23! I did seven years in the 80's and I don't think we had a TSP option. All I had was that crappy VEAP. Not even the GI bill. Oh well, no regrets, best thing I ever did!

Thanks for the info retiredcg!

Good luck guys,

Daddy (MM),I was just crunching the numbers on how old you are but I got lost...;-)

If I had known I was gonna live this long, I'd of taken better care of myself....

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR SEPERATION AND THANKS FOR SERVING OUR COUNTRY!

You don't have to get a job with uncle sam after you retire. Just find a retirement vehicle now that will supplement your future retirement income. Although TSP and ROTH and traditional IRA are good ways to do that, they really don't help you much if you plan on retiring earlier than 59.5 years.

This is why I like real estate. If I could get $200-$300 per properties per month in a form of passive income, I can be set for life. The main thing is to lower down the risk before getting into real estate. Just like being here at TSPTalk, we learn to lower down the risk by jumping out of stocks and going into G fund if the market is tanking. You can also minimize the risk in real estate by doing your due diligence and learning all the intricacies of real estate ownership.

If you analyze or compare returns from all of mutual funds, stocks, TSP, or ROTH portfolio against actual ownership of a passive income real estate property, you'll find out that the latter will win hands down.
