I got together with the wrong person. That woman cost me $15k in 3 months, burned through all of my savings for her amusement and made me take a $6k loan for furniture and a flat. Lemmings, what’s your sad story?

Tbf, the tsp by default I believe throws your money in a G fund which is basically bonds iirc. So you'd be better off but if you never actually managed it it would've netted you far less than you think.

Still, better than not being in it. Good on you for helping others avoid the pitfalls you experienced.

    As the other commenter said, it now puts you in the closest life cycle fund to your 67th birthday. They also automatically start you contributing 5%, which would get you the 5% match. Basically immediately doubling your investment.
