I am a practicing financial planner, but I'm not your financial planner. Please consult with your own tax, legal and financial advisors for personalized advice.

Im starting a federal job at 34. Planning to stay till 62 to retire and get the 1.1% and collect early social security. Putting the 5% into TSP to get the full match hoping in the next 28 years it builds up enough.

Your videos are so informative for new folks getting into to public service and I always enjoy watching them. Keep it up!

I just started working for the feds and I’m 21. I put 6% into my Traditional TSP and $250 into my roth because I honestly don’t know what I’m doing. I just know retirement is important

Great topic and information, as always. I want to confirm something for others coming up on retirement. I am retiring on Dec 31st. I received an email from the National Finance Center a few days ago that told me to not expect my first retirement check for 8 to 12 weeks after my retirement date. I think it's important for anyone preparing to retire to have money at hand (ie... in checking or a savings account) to cover their expenses during that 2-3 months lapse between retiring and receiving initial annuity payments. I learned that from you and your channel, and took care of that before I retired,

Very useful, something geared to help out the younger generations. Thank you.

A young employee also needs to know their GS salary will never increase enough to buy a house. Home prices keep going up about 10% a year, but GS salaries may go up 1%. You'll be heading in reverse.

I would like to be a federal employee after earning 6 figures in industry for 5-8 years (I’m currently just an engineering student LOL so I have lofty dreams). But it’s super important to me to at some point help and service my country with my skill set.

I am retiring in 12 years. I do have a question that WHY—-in this day and age, it still takes so many weeks before the first retirement check kicks in? Even if all the I’s are dotted and computers are working overtime, it still takes forever. First check should come in two weeks after my last standard paycheck

[offthetop]

Great advise thank you! You remind me of Winston Deavor 😉

[kelionnoldo]

I got the job offer from usar and I'm goddamn happy

Get out of the G, F, I, &L funds and max out your roth tsp

[manofmayhem]

Do you know anything about discount flights for fed employees

[seaquest]

for a job that has different titles, but same position code, exact same duties, same qualifications 😮--should they be paid and be classified the same?

[nelsonfonville]

When can a spouse start spousal social security and can they switch to their social security at a later date? Thanks so much for your information.
