Comparing Traditional and Roth Accounts for Financial Planning | Christy Capital | #shorts #financialplanning

Here's a quick explanation of the differences between traditional TSP or IRA and Roth TSP or Roth IRA. Traditional is where you get paid and you put it in a traditional retirement account , either TSP or IRA, before you pay taxes on it. You’re postponing taxes until later and then hopefully your account grows a whole bunch, and when you take a distribution in retirement, it's taxed at your tax bracket. With Roth, you’re gonna go ahead and pay the tax now and put in after tax money and then hopefully it grows, and at retirement you’re taking money out totally tax free. Roth IRA’s have the 2 rules of having a Roth IRA for five years and being over the age of 59 1/2 when you take out the gains. So which one is better? Well of course that depends on your situation.

Is Annuity Considered Negative? What Conservative Investment Choices Exist for Retirement?

The world of finance has a number of “four-letter words” that people consider dirty. Among them: Debt Loss Risk Loan But here we want to focus on another word—a longer word—used in financial planning that some people regard as especially bad. It’s the word “annuity.” Why do so many feel this way? And should they? Are annuities a bad idea? Or, are they a smart, conservative option for some people? Annuities Defined One definition of annuity is “a payment for the rest of your life.” Some federal employees, when talking about their pensions, will say, “I have an annuity.” Another definition of annuity could be “a bucket of assets that you have set aside in a conservative manner.” This would be an accumulation of assets that aren’t at any risk of loss due to stock market exposure. Here, we're going to be talking about that second kind—not the “income for the rest of your life” type of an annuity that federal employees have. Usually, people that have a pension, an

rewrite this title Can You Contribute to both Roth TSP and Roth IRA in the Same Year? | Christy Capital Management

Want to speak with an advisor about your TSP or retirement? Visit and click "Talk with an Advisor." Ok...so a question we get a lot is, Can I do Roth inside of the TSP and do Roth outside in an IRA in the same year? Well, the answer to that is it depends. The Roth IRA and Roth TSP are under different rules. IRAs are subject to the IRS publication 590 and have a contribution phaseout. Whereas Roth TSP is subject to ERISA rules and it doesn't have income limits. So I’ll start with Roth TSP. Let's imagine that for 2023 that you’re going to be able to contribute $20,500 per year to the TSP if you are under the age of 50. If you’re over the age of 50, you’ll be able to contribute $28,000 to the TSP. Now all of that money can go to the Roth side if you want it to. There’s no income limit so the highest-paid federal employee can still do this. Keep in mind the match is gonna go to traditional, regardless of whether you select Roth or traditiona

Tactical Fund Reallocation for Efficient TSP Management.

#rbi #manageyourtsp #reallocatefunds To reallocate funds tactically is to maintain a balanced approach.
