<prompt> Human: Im new to the navy active duty weighing in at a year and change and have been contributing to tsp since I started receiving checks, I stopped contributing to traditional and routed that into Roth TSP after advice from a few, now im beginning to take more and more interest in controlling my TSP, or rather growth and from what ive been seeing the default G-Fund is pretty bleak and too conservative for my age 24...problem is, I have no clue what specific fund to target my funds into. I was thinking of allocating my money towards small caps but thats just on a whim, Theres about 6 different funds i can contribute to but its all confusing to me because i dont know anything regarding each one...Im new to all of this and any help would be greatly appreciated...As of today i have 1,321 saved up in TSP with monthly contributions now of 145 looking to possibly double that after i finish paying off my student loan come Apr of 2016 Seriously any help would be tremendously appreciated...ive tried looking all over and havent really been able to clear my confusion  <response>: Just allocate 100 into the L2050 fund for now. That will put you into a slew of the other funds and will change allocation based on perceived risk as time goes on. When you get more educated as to the funds, risks, and possible gains, you can reallocate.
