TSP Fees

Kevin discuss the possibility of taking traditional money from a TSP and doing a Roth conversion with an IRA for individuals over the age of 65. He explains that while the TSP does not allow for this type of conversion, it is allowed in a traditional IRA and can be a way to save on taxes. However, taxes must be paid when the money is moved over to the Roth, as it is taxed up front. The goal is to keep the amount of money rolled over under the tax bracket threshold to avoid paying a significant amount of taxes. He emphasizes that this type of conversion may not be the right move for everyone and recommends attending a workshop to learn more about the ins and outs of the process. He notes that it is a little complicated and requires careful consideration before making a decision. Overall, while the TSP does not allow for this type of conversion, it is possible to do so in a traditional IRA and can be a way to grow money tax-free over time.

Can you move your TSP while still working?

Kevin discuss the different investment options available to federal employees, including the TSP, GFC SNI funds, and $5,000 mutual funds. He explain that while there are fees associated with all of these options, the GFC SNI funds do not have transaction fees, whereas the $5,000 mutual funds do. Speaker 1 emphasizes the importance of being aware of fees and considering them when making investment decisions, but also notes that higher fees may be associated with better quality investments. He encourages federal employees to attend their workshops to learn more about the different investment options and their implications. The workshop provides more information on fees and the implications of investment choices. Speaker 1 acknowledges that federal employees may have a resistance to fees but notes that it is important to consider the saying "we get what we pay for" when making investment decisions.
