I agree, the TSP is the lowest cost 401k plan. I plan on keeping my money in the TSP after I retire, then rolling into a Vanguard IRA right before I want to begin withdrawing.
My only complaint with TSP is that it isn't very flexible with the withdrawals. If the market gets hammered, I may want to withdrawal less that particular year. Unfortunately, it looks as though I would have to take fixed amounts out.
So, I'm thinking that I will eventually go with Vanguard and take the money out as needed.
