What to Expect From Your TSP Retirement Review
A TSP Retirement Review is a focused, complimentary conversation designed to help you better understand the financial decisions surrounding your transition from a federal paycheck to retirement income. It is not a sales presentation.
Schedule Your Complimentary TSP Retirement ReviewMeet with Johnathan Adler, LTCP, for a complimentary 30-minute conversation. There is no obligation, no requirement to move your TSP and no expectation that you purchase a financial product. Spouses and partners are welcome.
TSP Retirement Review is not affiliated with the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board, the Thrift Savings Plan, or any federal agency. A rollover or product purchase is not required and is not the purpose of this review.
What we discuss
Every review is different because every federal employee's situation is different. Depending on where you are in your career and what questions matter most to you, a review may cover any or all of the following:
- Your current TSP balance and fund allocation
- Retirement timeline and target date
- Expected FERS pension amount and survivor benefit options
- Social Security timing and coordination
- TSP withdrawal strategy and installment options
- Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs)
- Roth TSP and Roth conversion considerations
- TSP rollover options and tradeoffs
- Income needs and spending in retirement
- Liquidity reserves and emergency access
- Legacy and beneficiary goals
- Long-term retirement income sustainability
What information may be helpful to have
You do not need to bring anything to schedule a review. But if you want to make the conversation as useful as possible, the following can help:
- Your approximate TSP balance and current fund allocation (available at tsp.gov)
- Your expected FERS pension estimate (available from your agency HR)
- Your Social Security statement (available at ssa.gov)
- A general sense of your monthly income needs in retirement
- Any specific questions or concerns you want to address
Is there a fee?
