    I really hate to face TSP-G going back down. It's been too short a ride for this old lady. Nice while it lasted even if not the top rate I was expecting.

    @Anna

    It was good while it lasted but now the question is where to go. None o the index funds are appealing except maybe the extended market fund.

    I will probably roll my account over, unless their annuity rates look great, but I am not a fan of annuities

    I emailed them for idea of rates

    It has been years since the annuity rate was anything.

    Yea, options aren't great on the where-to-go front. Perhaps short-term a little F and, yes, S. At no time before have I considered TSP to be too limited but, now, it does. Maybe I am becoming limited faster???

    We are not there yet. Here is our plan on stable value fund in our 401(K):

    1. We will hold enough cash to cover one to two year expense (minus social security and pension) from the staple value fund.
    2. The bulk of our staple value has been reallocated to total bond index fund since the beginning of 2024. This alone has gained well over 1% total return with stable value gradual declining yield.
    3. Short term bonds and funds are viable alternatives. Taking on more credit risk is reasonable with good active management.
