Yep. Another Fed. And under the FERS retirement.

I was maxing out my contributions earlier this year, but my wife lost her job and hit our income by 30%. After that I decreased them down to 5% to maintain the 100% matching. When I got my promotion to GS13 last month, I started a Roth with the increase in pay. Im 27 now, and putting the money into Roth made much more sense to me than increasing TSP the same amount.

Im going to start inching the TSP contributions again each year or when the wife gets another teaching job.

Love you sig too.
