Ok, so I am looking at TSP information, and it looks like TSP has a really low expense ratio (.027%). I am looking at my American Funds, of which I have five different funds, and their expenses according to MorningStar range from a touch over 1.0% to .8%. My funds also have a load of 5.75. Is the difference in load and expense why TSP comes highly recommended?
As always, thanks everyone. Also, I did go into mypay and start a percentage contribution to the Roth TSP. Being able to do that electronically is nice, especially for a traditional guardsman living away from base. I'm excited to get this started!
