I give up

**brushout** · 11-21-2008, 10:15 PM

I have thought about this long and hard. Does anyone know what I need to do to completely cash out? I know I will have to pay penalties and tax..Got it. I just want what is left of my money and I will go play somewhere else.

I think I can do better using my TSP money to buy silver, gold and M-4s.

Thanks to anyone that can help. Yes, I know I am a loon, you don't have to tel me any more.

You can only cash out when you separate.

This link explains in-service withdrawal options. Go to the TSP website homepage and paste the link from there.

After reading, it looks like I will just have to sit here and suffer as I watch our TSP accounts go to zero. I will still have my M-4 to cling to. lol

The first time I found it was after I logged on to My Account with the TSP website. Later, after I had signed off, I could still access the pages from the homepage without signing back in. Maybe it was a cookie thing... Did you paste the link in your browser from TSP's homepage? Sorry it didn't work for you. I'm sure you will figure it out. It's a 20 page pdf file booklet about in-service withdrawals.
