I am eligible to retire from fed service at 57 1/2. I will have 36 years of service. I plan on using my TSP to supplement my retirement. I cant seem to find a straight answer on withdrawing my money prior to 59 1/2 without paying the 10% penalty. Some sites say I can access all of it anytime, others say I have to use the SEPP plan, and others say I can access all of it but only 4 times per year. I understand the tax paid on it is variable to my overall income. - Tim

I am 8 years from retirement and currently invested 100% in the C fund. When should I start moving money to the G fund and should it be based on a percentage of my current balance, or should I base it on how many years of withdrawals I want to protect once fully retired i.e. 8-10 years. -  Paul  https://zurl.co/qyzS
