12% annualized return in my TSP??

 

Take an inside look at Spencer's actual TSP numbers to show exactly how quickly your account can grow once you start contributing to your TSP and then eventually maxing it out.

 

Spencer and Jamie both got off to a slow start and didn't max out their TSP accounts right away. But now, compounding interest is taking off and the future is looking bright. It's ok to not max it out right away. You don't need to get it right every time, every year. Find a strategy that works, back-test your plan, and contribute automatically. 

 

Bottom line- investing in the TSP is a long-term win for you!
