Just Checking

 I was plotting out a blog post about retirement and I decided I needed to compare Uncle Sam's Thrift Savings Plan with a theoretical, private 401k plan.  I'll get to the blog post later (Hint: I think everybody should have a Federal pension.) but this will lay out this one particular point.

 

The G Fund is bonds.  The C Fund is a broad index fund -- based on the S&P index.  (I don't know about the L 2065 column.)

That's 30 years, young people.  An average of 10+% return per year.  If you look at the ups and downs, some years will scare you to death.  I don't look.  (Seriously.)
