More Americans Living to 90, U.S. Census Finds
• More Americans are living to 90 and beyond,
and by 2050 their ranks could reach almost 9
million, a new U.S. Census Bureau report finds.
• In fact, the number of nonagenarians has
nearly tripled -- from 720,000 in 1980 to 1.9
million in 2010, researchers found.
• Most of them -- 74 percent -- are women.

How to Invest for Retirement
• Don’t Follow
– People tend to buy high and sell low
– What’s hot!
– “Be fearful when others are greedy and be greedy when
others are fearful.” Warren Buffet
• Stick to Your Plan
– Regular and automatic is best
– The market is now reaching new highs – even after 2008
• Keep Costs Low
– TSP = $.29 / $1,000 / year ($500 x $.29 = $145 / year)
• Ignore Financial News
– If you did nothing in 2008, you would be better off today
– Doing nothing can make you look brilliant!

*If you die before the amount of your TSP balance used to purchase your
annuity has been paid out, the remaining amount will be paid in a lump sum.

The pitches are persuasive.
Workers who leave jobs
with the federal
government transferred
$10 billion last year out of
the Thrift Savings Plan.
Forty-five percent of
participants who left
federal service in 2012
removed all of their funds
from the plan and closed
their accounts by the end of
2013. To investigate this
exodus, the government
expects to survey departing
workers later this year.
