    Thank you for this. I'm 27 and been in the military for almost 8 years now. I wish I had been paying a lot more attention to my investment options.

    I’m postal worker I have 7 year to go at age 62 with 31 years I put 13% what you recommend for me please

    That's all good for people currently in the system but what about for those of us that have already retired? What IS the Income Fund? I see that it (like the other L Funds) shifts the investments into a less risky portfolio but what good is that if they're not going to send me money each month?

    Usually saw forex and crypto trading as a side thing till I started making thousands of dollars from it, having an expert handle my account while I take care of my daily work has been the best part.

    Cooper, I retired at 58. I am 100% G but have a terrible FOMO. Would you advise moving to some of the riskier funds at this stage of my life? BTY, I am not yet 59.

    I'm 56 and don't have much at all in my tsp..I'm confused .mostly in garage fund…question..if I do c fund can i just let it go and pray for the best?? I have no experience in investing..I have 10 more years to work…how can I triple what little I have?

  10. bryant whitis

    Yes, I just want to know who is eligible to participate in the Federal Thrifty savings program?

  11. Ryan Rommel

    To answer your question, I am about a 6 or 7 on that 1 to 10 risk taker factor.I started messing with my TSP.G – 10%, C – 45%, F- 45%.Current TSP % from my pay is 15%.I am not very verse in TSP investment. I was told by a more experience person to set my percentage as seen above.Any suggestions?

    Cooper I’m retired from the Army receiving retirement pay but am also a Federal employee with 10 years of service. Have only been in G fund and would like to retire in next 5-7 years at age 65. Should I change to an L2030 plan partially? I’m completely out of my realm for investments

  13. Debra Parker

    Good morning thanks for the information. I am a current retiree this week 12/10 as well as last week I lost $40,000. I was wondering if I should more my funds into the G funds.  At present my funds are allocated as follows: G-15%, F-25%, C-40%, S-10% and I-10%

    Just something that caught my eye that I think needs to be edited for clarity….I pulled this from the "info" section below the video right after the Play button ( |> ) Subscribe to My Channel Here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8bW…–….Cooper Mitchell helps federal employees better understand their benefits and helps them retire on their terms. Using financial planning and investment management through …(?)… Cooper is able to tackle the issues that are unique to federal employees.I believe that there is another word that is missing here<(?)>that would help the flow and understanding of this sentence. Thank you in advance for correcting this and I am new to this channel, so I will definitely be checking out more videos, old and new, to help with my plans for the future and my ultimate retirement goals. Have a wonderful day and thanks for what you do!

    Heres a question.. Should I play around with the interfund transfer or should I really just be focusing on contribution allocations. I'm 23 years old and 4 years in the military and I just started putting money into the C fund and a little bit in the G fund. 80-20%. I have only like 6,000 in because its only been from the G fund but I'd like to actually start making money now that I'm starting to understand it more. Let me know if you have any advice or links to auricles or videos that talk about. Thank you.

    This is going to sound real corny but how do you even begin investing your money with TSP I went to the website and I'm not familiar with investing money or how to do it is their a site you can go on to attach your tsp information to an investing place like G FUnd or CFUND?

  17. Sweet Pickles

    Wait… your my garage gym guy. So THIS is how you got all the great equipment!

  18. hello L

    seriously you are so amazing. Thank you
