<prompt> Human: Hello rpersonalfinance, more context on my situation: Im getting out of the military within a few months. And going to school full time. I also more money saved up from my time in the military, and a TSP thrift savings plan. I plan on rolling that into a Roth or something of that sort. With this 2,500; I dont need it at all. Thinking about getting a CD to have a quick return on investment, or would I be better lumping that into my retirement orrr is there another form of CD? Mind you Ill have about 4 years of steady income from my GI bill, after which I wont. I also plan on going to graduate school after wards. Edit: I also have an emergency fund saved of 80 of my currently yearly income at the ready when I transition out the military. No kids, wife, car paid off if that matters. Edit 2: Ive been making 25 dollar paycheck allotments this whole time as wellAssistant: 1 Leave your TSP, what funds is it invested in?2 Dont put that money in a CD, leave it in a savings account for unforeseen expenses. The GI Bill doesnt cover everything and additional money will help you focus on your studies.Human: See thats where I fucked up. I didnt know there were different funds. So this whole time Ive had the basic G fund. -.- despite that Ive accrued a decent amount. Been putting 10 of my income in. And I have 80 of my yearly income saved up in my regular savings bank account. Oh! And I have some bitcoin stashed, so Ill have access to liquid assets : Assistant: You need to move all your money in TSP out of the G Fund.Do CSI at 602020. Thats a good healthy mix and much more aggressive for a long timeline.Human: Its too close to the end four months and Im out out wish I had known sooner  <response>: You can keep money in the TSP once youre out, you know. And you should. So change the mix, and keep the money in TSP.
