I ask, because i've gotten alot of recommendations regarding allocations. Do most of you here divide up your "distribution" similar to your allocations? -Or quite differently?
For the record, the education im getting here is passed along to a friend also....a fellow soldier I've known since Basic. Shes had her funds sitting in G for the last 1-1/2 year. Were both looking into some seriously needed TSP classess offered by the Army.
We don't talk about our monthly contributions into our accounts much and if we do they are usually referred to as "monthly contribution." What the autotracker tracks is the amount of the total TSP account (contribution and any interest earned) that is placed into each Fund (G, F, C, S and I Funds), which may be what you meant by "distribution."
Keep asking, we'll keep trying to help. If you have a question about something, someone else probably wants to know the answer too.
