Hi Birchtree! Could you go noob 101 - and explain the advantages/disadvantages (in layman's terminology) of rolling from the TSP to an IRA? I'm assuming 2017 is when you plan to retire??? Do you roll it over in one lump sum? Do you plan to convert any of it to a ROTH IRA?
I'm assuming places like Vanguard (for example) have lower fees & more funds to choose from - is that the main attraction?
Sorry for such basic questions. If anyone else would rather answer - any info would be appreciated!
I'm about 15 years out & trying to figure out a good strategy. Our current strategy is just to MAX out the TSP each year - and also to MAX OUT both of our ROTH IRAs at Vanguard (and then at age 50, we will also MAX OUT on additional catch-up contributions each year as well - to accumulate as many shares as possible).
Thanks so much!
