Split TSP Contributions Between Roth & Traditional? Is Earning a Military Pension Likely? #63 | The Military Money Manual Podcast

In this episode, Spencer Reese and Jamie answer 2 reader questions:

1. Should you split your Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) contributions between the Roth TSP and Traditional TSP?
2. Should I focus on contributing to my TSP or should I just rely on my military pension?

While government TSP matching must deposit into your Traditional TSP, you can contribute all of your funds to the Roth TSP and you will still get the matching.
