At least 5-10 years before your target retirement date. Some decisions, like Roth TSP contributions, benefit from even earlier planning.
It depends. TSP has very low fees, but an IRA offers more investment options and flexibility. We model both scenarios to find what's best for your situation.
They work together. Your FERS annuity provides a base income, and Social Security supplements it. We optimize the timing of both to maximize your total retirement income.
