Welcome! Another fed, huh? Me too, and quite a few more, plus active & retired military including reserves. I'm guessing you're under the FERS system. If at all possible, and I know you have big student loans, but you really would be well advised to try to increase your TSP contributions as much as possible, with a total IRS max-out as your goal. That's gonna play a huge part in your future federal retirement. That is, if you stay with the fed. I'm under the old CSRS system, so I don't get any matching money, but I still max my TSP, on an income $10,000 less than yours. See ya around the boards!
