<prompt> Human: As by my title I am separating from the military in October of next year. I am married with two kids and we have a mortgage and paying off two cars. Wife works but I am trying to plan for a better financial future. I understand the benefits of the military but financially I want more for myself and family. I will have a bachelors degree in finance come next September and will be starting my masters degree in 2020. Does anyone have any advice on job searching and financial planning. Branch of service is Navy Assistant: Stuff as much into the TSP as you can in your last year. Dont roll over the TSP to anything else when you separate. Keep it and roll 401k plans, when you leave future employers into it.For job searching, a good resource will be the careers office at either your undergraduate university or your masters degree university, or both. Spend time there. Go to the presentations of companies that recruit on campus.For financial planning, follow the steps and the flow chart in the wiki on the sidebar: PRIME DIRECTIVE: How to handle .Heres a link, in case you are on mobile:Good luck.Human: Why keep everything in the TSP as opposed to a 401k or IRA?Assistant: I was wondering this too as well. Im not the biggest fan of TSPHuman: If you are not the biggest fan of the TSP it may be because you do not know enough of it. Hope you dont have it all in the G-fund... seriously the TSP is a pretty sweet deal with those low numbers. You can rollover your IRAs into it and as long as you have at least 500 in it before you separate youll be able to keep it. Assistant: I have less than 2 in the G fund. Its not that Im not a big fan of it but Ive read up on it but I want to do more research on my options  <response>: TSP is an amazing 401k. You shouldnt give it up.
