Where to start planning?

LEAVE! AND DON'T COME BACK.

I have GS on my ignore list but his posts still show up when I click "new posts." Bummer.

Tom, is there any way to prevent this?

Your writing style and communications skills are somewhat ineffective when you approach people as a "Know it all". Anyone can cut and paste a topic and profess to be a Self Appointed Financial Expert, so you shouldn't be surprised when people get offended with your approach. And just because you cut and paste from your own website, doesn't mean it isnt SPAM.

Retirement planning and Estate planning are two different things! This is not the board to get information on estate planning, or post it. Case and point: you really want to have a will or trust in place BEFORE you retire, just in case.

Once you get your beneficiary ducks in order (or take the default order: spouse, kids, parents....) that's it for Estate planning for TSP. Your will or trust will NOT change your beneficiaries for TSP, even if you add something to change your TSP beneficiaries in these documents. Only the appropriate form to TSP or the default order applies!
