30 y.o. USAF AD. I came in slick sleeve (August will be my 4 year mark) and have been contributing 10% to a Roth TSP since I got in. My only debt is my car loan. I am NOT enrolled in the BRS because
-I honestly didn’t think I was going to stay in past my initial enlistment and originally just wanted my GI Bill and then to gtfo
-As the title above hints at, I am a complete and total clueless IDIOT when it comes to anything having to do with finances. Seriously, that is not an exaggeration. People may as well be talking in Pig Latin.
Due to finding out about the perk that is TA and also finally being approved to retrain as a FTA, I will be staying in.

My questions:
- I’ve seen some posts in regards to where to allocate funds for Roth and they mostly seem to be advocating for L 2050. Initially I had all of mine in whatever spot it automatically gets put in and then about 2ish years ago I spoke to a TSgt who showed me how you could split everything between the different funds and basically copied what she did. This is my current situation. aM I dOInG tHiS rIgHT??? Because the past couple of things I’ve read on this sub just now are all majorly pointing in the direction that no... no I’m not.
- I want to do more in regards to saving/investing money/making my money work and earn for me while at the same time spending as little amount of time, AKA preferably NO time, doing it. Basically something I can set up and leave and forget about. I am not opposed to paying someone to help me do that. The question is, who?
