Sorry for your losses.
It's time I dusted off this verrry dusty account. Life went kinda sideways/downhill these past few years, lost brother in 17, dad in 18, mom at Christmas last year, difficult stories behind each of their passings. I'm finally at the doorstep to retirement. Just in time to not face ultimatums coming from on high. The tsp account has been pretty inactive these past few years, not enough emotional/mental energy to spare due to longdistance eldercare and subsequent estate resolution matters while still working. I have to say that being allowed/required to work from home has not been a bad thing for me, certainly helped with eldercare for 3 of the past 4 years, being able to have parent in my home or me in their home, depending on the year.
time approaches in next few weeks of pulling some funds prior to retirement to ensure that any shutdowns or delays at OPM dont find me in a shortterm financial bind. Still searching for the right retirement property that I can actually afford given screaming real estate prices these past few years while I was trying to save for a 20% down, early retirement cushion and still max out tsp funding from paychecks, not to mention a few other out of the ordinary ongoing expenses that I consider investments in human capital now and future-family related.
Meanwhile some food for thought to sample and possibly digest. https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?b...ket-Ticker-Nad
