I just "feel" better knowing that my money is in my Vanguard Investment IRA being invested and controlled by me. I would do the same thing if I retired from a private company and had a 401K account. I don't want someone else controlling my money, especially the Government. When I retired, it took me about 2 days to send in the form directing my TSP account to be liquidated and moved out of the Government's hands.
