Wow, mine has dropped to 7.32%. My wife's which is just in the L2050 is 11.4%. I guess I'd be better off with mine there. :P (Actually, my lower performance is to be expected as I keep the...

I love coins and might be interested. What is the process for ordering, paying, etc...?
It amazes me how fast it can change.
"Your Personal Investment Performance (PIP) for the past 12 months ending 09/30/2014 is 12.63%."
I'm 38 and have about $70k so far, but I've only been in 3.5yrs. I also have an IRA.
You moved to I? Currently, it looks like the S fund is slightly in the lead.
Thanks for the reminder! Being overseas and not getting Friday off I forgot that the market was closed.
No, but I'm glad you asked as that got me looking closer into my history & I realized I didn't actually follow LMBF for all of 2012.
I was a new hire in 2011 and started in Lifecycle fund through...
I guess I've been doing somewhere between LBMF & LBMF-1. Being 12 or 13hrs ahead of the east coast it gets hard to do on the right day & I've been doing it a day early for awhile. It has worked out...
Doh! I was on vacation & forgot to check in to see which fund was the best & make my transfers. Now I'm unsure whether to do it late or just ride out S for another month. I think I'll just let it...

You don't do it through TSP.gov, but whatever payroll system your dept. uses. We use Employee Express so that is where I set my contribution amounts to each of the Roth & Traditional TSP. You only go...
I found the "Last Month's Best Fund" thread & kind of like that approach in that you don't really have to think about it, but the results seem to be pretty decent.
Recently I've been concentrating...
Wow, I just scrolled down & re-read the chart & have no idea what was wrong with me on that day. LOL
Am I reading that chart right that says we I can only put in $5,000 to the Roth TSP? I thought it was going to be the same $17,000 contribution limit regardless of whether you used Roth or not.
I assumed it'd be the same $17,000 limit, but now that you ask I'm not sure. I tried reading https://www.tsp.gov/PDF/bulletins/regs-roth-2012.pdf but that doesn't give a dollar amount & just says:

Yeah, I actually read that page before posting here. I still wanted to ask here since that page defines it, but doesn't really explain it. I guess my understanding of the term "secular" makes any...
I've never heard this term before. But, I've seen it a few times on this & other forums in the last day or two & several times on TV this morning.
What does secular mean in this context?
As a...
Good point. I always forget about non-deductible tIRA contributions.
It says there is no penalty for early withdrawal of contributions which I thought was true. Is that wrong?
Assuming your single, the MAGI limit to make a full contribution to a Roth IRA is $110,000.
I don't think your pension factors into it at all.
I'm pretty new too, but here's what I think the answers are to some of your questions. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will chime in.
1. Info on IRA limits for 2012 is here:2012 IRA...
So, here's my thread where I'll track what I'm doing. Since I started I've just been 100% L2030. I doubt I will really try to "time" the market by moving things around as much as some people here do,...
I'm coming up on my first anniversary as a fed worker. I'm maxing out my TSP into the L2030 fund at the moment as sort of a "set it & forget it" investment. But, I'll probably start reallocating &...
