for the next two years till you are 67, every single penny that you put in to the TSP needs to be what?

Number two,
you say that you may withdraw 20,000 at retirement.
Why?
If you withdraw that the way you currently have it now, and even if you open up a Roth TSP, it's got to be open for at least five years to take it out tax-free, unless...
