401Ks are protected unlike after tax accounts. If you want to qualify for college aid, brokerage accounts are on the table. Unfortunately there are gotchas around every corner.
@@FederalRetirementPlanning The HSA's I see you can only roll over $610 and I have a young family not sure I will do HDHP. Are there tax benefits for the Dependent FSA if you're doing a Traditional Roth?
Hello Brad thank you for sharing. Question is there any point in putting over 5% in the TSP or should I focus on increasing my Roth acct. yearly since it is tax free when withdrawing?
@@kurpal8904 What's your current Federal Tax Bracket and do you anticipate reaching a higher FTB in the future? < $45k = 12% FTB < $95k = 22% FTB < $182k = 24% FTB < $231k = 32% FTB

They are, but so are IRAs and Roth IRAs in most states. Financial aid for college is a completely different ball game!
I would switch to traditional for the years my kids are in college so I won't pay so much for their school and I'll switch back to Roth
Good information. Keep it up! 😀
excellent video

@@achisq FSAs are completely independent of the TSP so benefits don't change if you do one, the other or both
@@FederalRetirementPlanning Thank you for the response.
Thank you for the response.

That's going to depend on what you want, but no advantage to doing TSP after the 5% IMO.
@@FederalRetirementPlanning Thank you Brad for your prompt response. After viewing your video my consensus was the same. Happy blessed Holidays!
Roth TSP is a good option for the Roth side of things when it comes to tax treatments. Maybe both a Roth ira and Tsp would be great at the same time?
nothing wrong with using both
How about TSP ROTH
@@kurpal8904 What's your current Federal Tax Bracket and do you anticipate reaching a higher FTB in the future?
< $45k = 12% FTB
< $95k = 22% FTB
< $182k = 24% FTB
< $231k = 32% FTB
So does the TSP not offer a Roth option?
Yes it does
Very informative! Thank you!
Does the matching go for the traditional or Roth?
Matching always goes to traditional
@@FederalRetirementPlanning If matching goes to traditional, but you have a Roth TSP will the employer matching be taxed separately?
@@achisq matching goes to traditional so it's taxed when you withdraw funds
