Re: [TSP_Strategy] Re: How much should I protect in the G Fund?

 

IMO, it makes no sense to have money in the G fund even after retirement.  You have a pension and social security to fall back on.  Money can be moved to G fund at any time.  The time to move to G is when the other funds trend negative. For my risk tolerance that may take a month or two to identify.

I could retire last year but looking to work another year or two. I learned my lesson in 2009 when I had my money in G and missed out on 25-30% gains.  10 year average of C, S, I above 7% while G only 2.5%.  The last year of 15-20% has been very rewarding....

I'm not sure if I'm understanding your question but If the stock market tanks, my C S I balances will be lower but they wouldn't go down to zero. I don't feel the need to have money in G for backup in case that happens, if that's what you mean.

Mike, if the stock market tanks at a time when you need cash, and you have $0 in tbe G fund, unless you have accessible cash outside of TSP, you would be in a bad spot, no? Outside of my social security check, and postal pension, all money is in TSP. I guess this is why this ends up being a personal matter based on personal situations. Maybe I'm off base, though.
