Only been looking at this forum since 29 Sep (wonder why that date?)
Decided to join and not get pegged as a lurker or worse a Norse mythological creature hanging out under a bridge.
I have been contributing the max to the TSP since eligible in the late 90's. Haven't been proactive at all except to stop putting 100% in C fund at some point after 2002. Went to 40 G fund, 30 F fund and 30 C fund.
I believe I am like most members of the TSP and did not pay attention, even after I lost more money than I was putting in for a while. When I decided to get active I found I had lost my PIN and had to request a password by snail mail. Since then I let it ride through 9 and 10 Oct. Now what? Who knows.
I work for a small and neglected agency of one of the departments. Not a GS or WG but a WB. Got 11 years in now and thought I could retire at any time under agency rules, though at a reduced amount. FERS you know. Now I realize I gotta go to 65 or older. So time to get a little more agressive with the investments including, of course, TSP.
