There are about 117,000 Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) millionaires today, and you can be the next one. Yes! It is not that complicated; you can be one in the future, or you may already be one – congratulations! The number one and perhaps your worst enemy is yourself and its true. There is tremendous amount of information that you see, hear, or read from different sources and social media platforms about TSP that are overwhelming and can give you information overload. Recessions, inflations, income taxes, and other investment barriers can be major negative stimuli. TSP is a long-term financial investment, as such, you deserve historical financial facts and data, future value calculation, and the impact of taxes on your TSP contribution decision to get the most of your hard-earned money. C Fund is the king of all the individual funds. Why? C Fund is invested in Fortune 500 companies. Fortune 500 companies contributes 65%-67% of the USA’s GDP. In this book you will see 104 years of financial market, and the Fortune 500 Companies performance, return on investment (ROI). I divided 104 years into decades to get the ROI average and to find out how many recessions are there in every decade. I also pulled 110 years of inflation indices and 60 years of individual tax rates to include the 2023 and 2024 tax brackets. I have also analyzed why the S and I Funds ROI are higher than the C Fund the year(s) after recessions, I call it artificial ROI. All these historical financial facts and data were analyzed as these are the key information when making a well-informed TSP investment decision. This book will nurture your mind and develop the confidence to do the right TSP investment decision that is guaranteed to achieve your financial goal. You will no longer worry about the downswing (bear market) of the financial market, inflation, and income taxes – these are natural occurrences in a free-market economy. When face with doubt, simply refer to this book, and rest assured, you will go to sleep at night with absolute confidence because you have made the right investment decision and will be financially comfortable at retirement age or earlier.

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

"In the dark, bewildering, trap-infested jungle of misinformation and opaque riddles that is the world of investment, JL Collins is the fatherly wizard on the side of the path, offering a simple map, warm words of encouragement and the tools to forge your way through with confidence. You'll never find a wiser advisor with a bigger heart." -- Malachi Rempen: Filmmaker, cartoonist, author and self-described ruffian This book grew out of a series of letters to my daughter concerning various things-mostly about money and investing-she was not yet quite ready to hear. Since money is the single most powerful tool we have for navigating this complex world we've created, understanding it is critical. "But Dad," she once said, "I know money is important. I just don't want to spend my life thinking about it." This was eye-opening. I love this stuff. But most people have better things to do with their precious time. Bridges to build, diseases to cure, treaties to negotiate, mountains to climb, technologies to create, children to teach, businesses to run. Unfortunately, benign neglect of things financial leaves you open to the charlatans of the financial world. The people who make investing endlessly complex, because if it can be made complex it becomes more profitable for them, more expensive for us, and we are forced into their waiting arms. Here's an important truth: Complex investments exist only to profit those who create and sell them. Not only are they more costly to the investor, they are less effective. The simple approach I created for her and present now to you, is not only easy to understand and implement, it is more powerful than any other. Together we'll explore: Debt: Why you must avoid it and what to do if you have it. The importance of having F-you Money. How to think about money, and the unique way understanding this is key to building your wealth. Where traditional investing advice goes wrong and what actually works. What the stock market really is and how it really works. Why the stock market always goes up and why most people still lose money investing in it. How to invest in a raging bull, or bear, market. Specific investments to implement these strategies. The Wealth Building and Wealth Preservation phases of your investing life and why they are not always tied to your age. How your asset allocation is tied to those phases and how to choose it. How to simplify the sometimes confusing world of 401(k), 403(b), TSP, IRA and Roth accounts. TRFs (Target Retirement Funds), HSAs (Health Savings Accounts) and RMDs (Required Minimum Distributions). What investment firm to use and why the one I recommend is so far superior to the competition. Why you should be very cautious when engaging an investment advisor and whether you need to at all. Why and how you can be conned, and how to avoid becoming prey. Why I don't recommend dollar cost averaging. What financial independence looks like and how to have your money support you. What the 4% rule is and how to use it to safely spend your wealth. The truth behind Social Security. A Case Study on how this all can be implemented in real life. Enjoy the read, and the journey!

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.

This book fills in the gaps and will teach you to use your high income to escape from your student loans, provide for your family, build wealth, and stop getting ripped off by unscrupulous financial professionals. Straight talk and clear explanations allow the book to be easily digested by a novice to the subject matter yet the book also contains advanced concepts specific to physicians you won't find in other financial books. This book will teach you how to: Graduate from medical school with as little debt as possible Escape from student loans within two to five years of residency graduation Purchase the right types and amounts of insurance Decide when to buy a house and how much to spend on it Learn to invest in a sensible, low-cost and effective manner with or without the assistance of an advisor Avoid investments which are designed to be sold, not bought Select advisors who give great service and advice at a fair price Become a millionaire within five to ten years of residency graduation Use a "Backdoor Roth IRA" and "Stealth IRA" to boost your retirement funds and decrease your taxes Protect your hard-won assets from professional and personal lawsuits Avoid estate taxes, avoid probate, and ensure your children and your money go where you want when you die Minimize your tax burden, keeping more of your hard-earned money Decide between an employee job and an independent contractor job Choose between sole proprietorship, Limited Liability Company, S Corporation, and C Corporation Take a look at the first pages of the book by clicking on the Look Inside feature Praise For The White Coat Investor "Much of my financial planning practice is helping doctors to correct mistakes that reading this book would have avoided in the first place." - Allan S.
