Having been with the Federal Government for nearly 20 years, I enrolled in the TSP Pilot early on. Having sound market knowledge from the TSP Pilot has enabled me to build toward a sound and comfortable retirement.
In spite of the current market challenges, the updates help me stay informed about my TSP. I highly recommend anyone participating in the TSP subscribe to TSP Pilot.
I started on TSP Pilot in 2010 after a co-worker told me about it. Once I decided on my risk level (aggressive), I dialed in.
TSP Pilot gives me peace of mind and has allowed me to not stress when the market dips. I review the posted allocation updates and go about life knowing I have TSP-focused commentary to reference.
