The Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) can feel overwhelming, especially when you log into the website and are greeted with charts, fund options, and contribution limits. In this episode, Rayna Reyes walks through what all of those numbers actually mean in plain English.
Learn the difference between the five core TSP funds and the Lifecycle (L) Funds, how contribution and catch-up limits work in 2026, why Roth versus Traditional contributions matter, and what options become available once you reach age 59½. Whether you're just starting your federal career or getting close to retirement, understanding your TSP is one of the most important steps you can take toward building long-term financial security.
