I searched the archives, but couldn't find a thread dedicated to this topic, just a few individual posts. If you're not a retired federal employee or military retiree, this probably won't be of much interest to you :nonono:. Against lots of advice, I kept my TSP after I retired from the...

I've been looking forward to retirement for about 3 years now and have learned a lot from this forum and enjoyed the many fascinating stories. My last day of full time work was Dec 31, 2011. I am going to start 2 days a week in a while, but don't expect that to continue very long. Sort of a...

And here I thought I would work another several months and quietly slip away at the end of a 401K matching quarter. With less than 9 hours to go to a government shutdown, the small federal agency I am in has told everyone they will be furloughed on Monday and all contractors will receive stop...

Just received a letter from the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) informing me that they lost an external hard drive and that my SSN and other personal info may have been compromised. Of course they have no evidence that anything was done with the info and have no idea where...

Not sure if this is the right forum for this question, but it seems like a good place to start. Later this year my wife and I will retire from full time employment. There may be some small amount of consulting, but, for all intents and purposes, there will be little to no earned income flowing...

This probably has been covered at some point in the past, but I can't find a reference. We plan on heading to a warmer climate for 5 or 6 months each year starting next November. Leaving our house vacant with pretty much everything in it is somewhat scary. We can have the mail forwarded and...

Hi everyone- I've been following the threads on this board for several weeks and find many that have application to my current stage of life. In less than a year I turn 60 and will hopefully be able to retire - if not fully, then at least not have to work full time. My situation is not...
