Thrift Savings Plan Advice (TSP)
The Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) is a retirement savings and investment plan for federal government employees and uniformed service members. The TSP offers the same types of savings and tax benefits that many private corporations offer their employees under 401(k) plans. While setting up your Thrift Savings Plan may be overwhelming, we’re here to help! As a Federal Employee, you’re entitled to benefits through your many years of service. Our goal is to help you plan for the next step of life by planning, understanding your needs, and working with current best practices to help you secure the next chapter of your life. We believe retirement shouldn’t be stressful, and setting it up shouldn’t be either. Schedule a consultation today to get started!

Thx guys and continue doing what you are doing”

"One of the best retirement seminars I have been to. I am retired military and worked in private industry. A lot was packed in the few brief hours we were there and the information was valuable. I wish our HR would have explained so much. Chad appears to be a one stop on planning and retirement. Bravo Zulu, Chad.”

Attended a Federal Benefits Advisory Group workshop today and feel better prepared to take advantage of benefits and plan for retirement.

“I had the course last week and was very pleased with the seminar. I have been a federal employee for 20 years and consider myself well read on the subject of retirement. I did however learn facts that I was not aware of and all questions that I had were answered. It is called a retirement seminar, but I think it should be called New Federal employee seminar. The sooner you take it the sooner you can make sure you are doing all that you can or have to, to insure financial security at retirement.”

“I became a federal employee 8 yrs ago and I haven’t had the opportunity to go to a retirement seminar until today. I am so thankful I was able to attend! Payton and Carson had so much great information for FERS employees of all ages. This seminar was not just tailored to the employees who are about to retire, but for those of us who are a ways out…and are concerned that we might not be making the best decisions right now. They focused on the “big picture” (Social Security, Annuity, & TSP) and gave lots of great information. All newer federal employees should attend multiple retirement seminars now so they can be better informed to make good decisions for their future retirement!!!”
