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.

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
