Which TSP Withdrawal Option is Best?
[Video]

The National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association (NARFE) reports

that approximately 88 percent of federal retirees elect to take their Thrift

Savings Plan (TSP) savings in monthly withdrawal payments, 12 percent elect a

single payment withdrawal and less than 1 percent elect the annuity-purchase

option.

Knowing the pros and cons of the TSP's monthly withdrawal options is critical

to preparing for retirement whether you are retiring this year or 10-20 years

from now.

After years of faithfully contributing your hard-earned money into

your Thrift Savings and carefully managing the allocations for optimal growth,

the last thing you would want is a costly surprise because your contributions

weren't enough to supplement your other sources of government income: retirement

annuity, FERS Supplement, and Social Security.

In addition, there are many ways to withdraw your TSP savings, however which

one will provide sufficient income throughout your retirement years?

In this online video, you can learn how to analyze the pros and cons of each

option using a popular software program for federal employees.
