If you are a current or previous employee of the federal government, or a uniformed service member, you have likely heard of the federal government’s Thrift Savings Plan. It’s otherwise known as the TSP. At Smart401k we help quite a few people who are participating in the TSP, and we regularly discuss the plan with our members.
