NerdWallet's Smart Money Podcast · Strengthen Your 2026 Financial Plan and Optimize TSP and 403(b) Accounts for Heirs · 11 Dec 2025 podcast

Well, you know, I wrote a story recently about how I've been thrifting my kids Christmas, like not every gift, but a lot of them.

And so that's been kind of a fun way to continue that challenge.

So I'm happy to talk with you later, maybe next month.

That's true.

Okay, here we go.

Hi, nerds.

I retired from the military two years ago, and my wife is a teacher who plans to retire in four years.

We can live comfortably on our pensions and Social Security.

We have $1.2 million in retirement savings and a TSP and a 403B that we will not touch.

How should we invest these funds?

We plan to leave the money to our children and grandchildren.

Thank you, nerds.

So the money is already in these retirement accounts, and ideally it's invested.

So how can the listener maximize their investments?

Obviously, they could leave the money where it is, leave the investments to continue growing as they are.

But sometimes in employer-sponsored retirement accounts, those investment options can be limited, can't they?

What do you mean by investing aggressively?

I know financial advice is typically to invest heavily in stocks when you're further away from retirement, but to become more conservative later on as you're approaching that retirement age.
