I’ve got 92% of my Reserve basic pay going into TSP, I’ll be opting into the new blended retirement system so they’ll match up to 5%. On the GS side, I can afford about 20% to put away into the TSP.
As far as buying back my time, I’ll buy back 4 years of active service. I’m under age 30.
Am I doing anything wrong so far?
