Thank you for your response. I work for the VA and my particular VISN does not give formal retirement classes but periodic workshops held by various retirement specialists. The last one I attended a few months back toward the end the attendees found out that the speakers were private sector financial planners and were pretty much there to recruit for business prospects!!

Retirement preparation and planning are no longer done by the HR dept. of my facility, and we are assigned a supposed retirement specialist, and my happens to be in Maine. I have been in contact with her a few times and due to several issues regarding wrong info she gave me I do not have much faith in her.

I just happened to come upon a TSP forum so I will do some research there.
