Description

In episode 129 of the Federal Retirement Show, Val explores the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) and explains why market volatility is a risky game for retirees. While TSP is a powerful retirement tool for federal employees and members of the military, not all investment strategies are created equal—especially when you're no longer bringing in a paycheck.
