My name is David Pere, I am an active duty Marine, and have realized that service members and the working class use the phrase “I don’t get paid enough” entirely too often. The reality is that most often our financial situation is self-inflicted. After having success with real estate investing, I started From Military to Millionaire to teach personal finance and real estate investing to service members and the working class. As a result, I have helped many of my readers increase their savings gap, and increase their chances of achieving financial freedom!

    I’m getting ready to quit my job tomorrow putting my 2 week noticed they say that my tsp check will get to me 30 days after separation date. My tsp currently went from 41k to 40k in a week. How should I preserve it so I don’t lose anymore from here to then?

    Hello ,i watched a few video of yours ,finally decided to ask you a question. So i just started the whole tsp thing ,i currently contribute 15% to my roth tsp ,and i just moved all my funds from L2055 to 100% C fund. With the global market like this ,do you think i should just keep doing it or maybe move to G fund for now and wait the market go up ,then move back to C fund ?Thank you

    Hey fellow bella woodsman, 03 tube stroker with a quick question. I only did 4 years in the Corps and been with the Federal Government 6 years and have been 100% allocated in the L2050 fund or something like that and I wanted to ask you 2 quick questions: 1 – Do you think it's worth buying my time back from the Corp if I am still only 31 with 6 years of Fed Govt under my belt as a civie. 2 – I was thinking of reallocating roughly 50% of my TSP into one of the more aggressive funds like C to maximize on the current correction we are seeing. I am not entirely unfamiliar with TSP allocations or contributions but I only have like 36k after 6 years and I am a lot more comfortable with the process but just wanted a second opinion. Great channel btw, just subscribed

    I have everything in my sp. Should I put my old money in the g fund and play with my new money

    What would you do to preserve capital ahead of a looming market crash?

    Three-quarter way into this I still don’t understand what to do with my TSP in case of a crash

    I'm retiring at the end of the month and have 1.1 million in my TSP.
    Until about 3 years ago I was fully invested in stocks through both bull and bear markets. During the bear markets, i kept investing and never looked at my statements.

    All in g fund thinking on jumping 30 per cent on s,c fund. Do recommend

  12. Shav Scott

    Do you recommend transfer out of the C and S fund back to the L2050? I have half in C and S and lil in the L fund.

  13. xtne.e

    I new to the game and my TSP automatically enrolled me into the L2050 fund. Do you recommend I do an 100% interfund transfer to the G fund at this moment?

  14. Relwood Music

    Thanks for the wisdom! It's nice to have some level-headed experts help us out

  15. Pacmon

    So… I have 10% of my pay going all into L2030 as I am newbie with this. Despite being in the L2030, I''ve still taken a beating and now wondering if I should swap over to C swallowing my loss upto this point, being hopeful that S&P 500 will bonce back in time to make up for the loss and more eventually… what do you think?

  16. Mike T.

    Normally I’d agree with this. For a quarterly dip like last winter or a short term down turn but this stuff is getting bad globally. It won’t turn around for a few weeks. I went from all in on CSI funds to more F than G fund with a little bit of C/S/I fund contributions.

    I took that 3% Raise and put it in my TSP Contribution.

    Appreciate you sharing this info! I was thinking of buying some United Airlines…have you considered that too? Would like to hear of the stocks you been buying during this time…if you’d like to share!

    When you do stocks, do you prefer stocks that provide dividends?

  20. Andrew Banker

    Before the dump. I moved half my equities into the fixed income and a small portion in the G fund. Preserved a hefty sum of my capital that way. Unemotional, just logical capital preservation. Still have my regular payments going in

  21. Grams

    I didn’t do anything. I still haven’t log into my account. I’m just waiting it out. I still having 25% of my paycheck going into my TSP.

  22. Justin Reilly

    Be. bear in a bull market, and a bull in a bear market. really very simple. And yes never get emotional. Pharma is geting a boost from new regulations. Definitely researching.

  23. Brandon Butler

    I’m fairly new into stocks but right before this crash I started putting money into Carnival Cruise Lines would it be smart to continue to buy carnival shares?

  24. CycoPAT Ponferrada Jr

    That’s exactly what I did! Nothing! Well, I actually put 3% MORE on my Contributions!
