Not the TSP, but one thing I did was to deposit an amount equal to 10 percent of my entire career income (about $170K) into a "voluntary retirement account" just before retirement, and then transferred in into an IRA after retirement. That greatly increased my IRA balance that was able to grow tax deferred. It is a little known benefit that I think is only available to CSRS employees. Look it up.
