On this video:
0:10 Eligibility to Withdraw: You can withdraw money from your TSP while still working if you meet specific qualifications.
0:15 Age Requirement: The primary qualification is that you must be at least 59 and a half years old.
0:43 Types of Withdrawals: You can either roll over or withdraw your money penalty-free if you are still in service and meet the age requirement.
0:50 Tax Implications: Direct withdrawals from TSP are taxable because most TSPs are tax-deferred.
1:03 Preferred Option - Rollovers: Most people prefer to roll over their TSP funds into an IRA to maintain the tax-deferred status. IRA Rollovers: Rolling over to an IRA is beneficial as it defers the tax liability to a later date.
1:25 Federal Policy: The federal government allows this rollover at 59 and a half because they understand people might need to access their money to secure their financial future.
1:48 Building a Financial Foundation: The video emphasizes the importance of building a solid financial foundation for retirement, akin to constructing a stable house.
2:55 Considerations Before Withdrawing: Before withdrawing or rolling over TSP funds, consider why you want to do it, where the money will go, and whether you can afford to retire.
