My Retirement Clarity with Lee Perkins

The TSP Trap: Great for Saving, Limiting for Retirement


Listen Later

Today, Lee dives into an important topic for federal employees: the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP). While the TSP is a powerful accumulation tool, it may lack the flexibility needed in retirement. Lee explains why reaching age 59½ is a critical turning point and how rolling over TSP funds into an IRA can provide greater control, investment options, and tax planning strategies.

He highlights both the strengths of the TSP- like low fees, simplicity, and automatic payroll deductions- and its limitations in terms of withdrawal rules and lack of integration with broader financial planning. Lee also shares a client story to illustrate how a personalized plan can make a big difference. If you’re approaching retirement and want to make smart, strategic decisions with your TSP, this episode is a must-listen.

 

Here’s what we discuss in today’s show:

💼 TSP has ultra-low fees, but few options

🎯 Age 59½ opens rollover opportunities

🔄 How rolling over to an IRA offers flexibility and options

🧾The benefits of a personalized tax strategy
