Hi all
I have visited the site in the past, but never posted.
I just retired on 1 April 2014 after 33 years with the federal government at age 55. My wife, a teacher, will be retiring at the end of the school year.
We are lucky to have a good pension (my CSRS and wife's smaller STRS). We have the majority of our funds in the TSP and a 457 plan. We have no debts (a small mortgage with enough funds in taxable accounts to pay off, just waiting until pension checks are final to be sure of cash flow).
I am planning to roll a portion of my TSP (probably a little over $100K) to an IRA and then gradually convert it to a Roth IRA. I plan to use ETrade and no transaction fee mutual funds (that is where my taxable accounts are).
Anyone else use ETrade for there IRAs?
Looking forward to enjoying retirement!
