<prompt> Human: Hello, I am currently in the military, and at the moment I am considering one enlistment and out. From what I looked into, I cannot contribute to the TSPretirement fund once Im a civilian.For Military Personnel, this does not seem like the best fund to save for retirement unless you make the military a career20 years.I am still young and not really aware of how to go about saving properly. Any other input of whether I should keep saving via the TSP, or are there better options that better transfer over as a civilian.  <response>: The length of time you spend in the military is irrelevant. The TSP is one of the best retirement savings accounts around, and your contributions vest immediately. You should take full advantage of it while you can.Additionally, starting next year you can get TSP contributions matched up to 5 of your base pay, making it an even better option.
