Check Your Progress

Visit the TSP website and log in to check your TSP statement—it’s a helpful tool to make sure you are on the right path.

Things to review in your statement include:

• Your contribution levels
• Fees you are paying
• Performance of investments

Remember, your TSP is a retirement account and is intended to produce returns over the long term. There will be market fluctuations and it’s important to avoid trying to time the market in order to avoid the normal market fluctuations. For long term investing, remember, slow and steady wins the race.

For more information about investing and saving for retirement, participate in Introduction to Investing or Introduction to the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP), which are both courses offered by your installation Personal Financial Management Program(PFMP) staff.
