Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since January 1, 2002, uniformed service members have been able to set aside a portion of their income into a tax-sheltered, defined contribution plan. This study analyzed the level of understanding and perception that military members have concerning the UNISERV TSP. It also assessed the training, education, and awareness levels in the areas of personal finance and federal income tax incentives related to retirement savings vehicles. A 35-question written questionnaire was administered to 189 military members from 43 commands in Navy Region Southwest. The study revealed that the level of training received to date is inadequate and insufficient for Navy personnel to make educated and informed decisions regarding retirement savings in general, including the UNISERV TSP (p less than or equal to .01) . Related conclusions revealed that a non- matching UNISERV TSP has no measurable effect on retention or recruitment and a matching program could improve the contribution rate by 200 percent. The predominate recommendation is for senior leadership to increase their commitment and resources toward training all Navy personnel on the mechanics and long-term benefits of the UNISERV TSP and retirement savings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transition from defined benefit to defined contribution retirement plans represents the most significant change in both the private sector and civil service employee retirement systems in the last twenty years. The Thrift Savings Plan (TSP), a tax-deferred, defined contribution plan for federal civilian employees, was established in 1986 as part of the Federal Employee Retirement System. This thesis discusses the costs and benefits of a TSP plan for the uniformed services. The objective of the research addresses the costs of a military TSP. Government studies, periodicals, and the Internet were examined to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the federal TSP. Next, a probabilistic spreadsheet model using Monte Carlo simulation was developed to forecast deferred tax revenue, which represents the most significant cost associated with a military TSP. An analysis of the results indicates that the simulations come within 2.6 percent of the initial Department of Defense's forecast. On October 30, 2000, the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2001 was enacted. This act included a military TSP called the Uniformed Services Payroll Savings Plan. It is recommended that future cost estimates use probabilistic spreadsheet modeling to provide more relevant information to the decision making process.

Download or read book TSP Investing Strategies written by Lee Radcliffe and published by . This book was released on 2020-03-11 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Thrift Savings Plan is a tax-advantaged individual investing vehicle for U.S. military personnel and federal government employees. With among the lowest fees in the business and government matches of up to 5% of participant contributions, it is also one of the greatest mechanisms through which to build long-term wealth in the world! The 2nd edition of "TSP Investing Strategies," published in early 2020, features significant updates and 50% more material to the best-selling 1st edition published in 2011. While many books cover various topics related to personal finance and investing, very little has been written specifically on investing in the TSP or on how to incorporate investing in the various TSP funds with one's overall financial goals. This 2nd edition examines 100+ years of investing in stock and bond indexes similar to those in the TSP over rolling 20-, 30-, and 40-year periods and implications for TSP investors in any market environment. Drawing from a structured examination of long-term market data, "TSP Investing Strategies" provides context for investing during major market swings, from euphoria to market crashes, as well as average time it takes for a buy-and-hold investor to recover following major market declines. The book details approaches for individual participants to determine their own mix of investments based on personal risk tolerances. The book also examines the impact of dollar-cost averaging, the importance of reinvesting dividends, compound growth and the 'rule of 72, ' correlation coefficients among the TSP funds, structured approaches to rebalancing funds over time, and approaches to debt management and 529 college savings plans, among many other topics. And in a new "Strategy VI," the 2nd edition also details important and potentially money-saving topics related to insurance, wills and trusts, and online and TSP account security. An extremely accessible, easily understood primer that simply and precisely explains the options and what they mean, "TSP Investing Strategies," 2nd edition, establishes a comprehensive road map for TSP investors to build greater wealth over the long term. This is the go-to book for anyone currently serving in the U.S. military or federal government, and for friends and family service members as well

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by a practicing emergency physician, The White Coat Investor is a high-yield manual that specifically deals with the financial issues facing medical students, residents, physicians, dentists, and similar high-income professionals.
