RE: Bubbles, Bubbles Everywhere

in #money6 years ago

While in the military I got lucky and had a higher ranked individual tell me on day one to open a TSP account and start contributing right away without any hesitation. Luckily I listened even though at the time I wasn't quite sure why I was trusting him. That single piece of advice allowed me to be on track for retirement for someone my age when none of my friends are.

I too am anticipating the bubble popping in coming years so I'm trying to figure out the best strategies moving forward. One I have mentioned before is not investing in any Real Estate until a dip occurs. The next thing I have been considering is what you mentioned about moving stock funds. With that TSP account I have a safe little haven called the "G" fund that I plan to use to shelter from the storm.

I'm not familiar with those military funds, but I'm glad you've got them. I'll have to mention those to my nephews, who are both in the military.

Hopefully we've got a couple more years. I don't think there's much chance it's longer, and could be just 6 months. May we be able to help the people who trust us prepare.
