Thrift savings plans offer immediate employee contributions, before-tax savings and tax-deferred investment earnings, low administrative and investment expenses and a choice of five investment funds. These five investment funds are Government Securities Investment (G) Fund, Fixed Income Index Investment (F) Fund, Common Stock Index Investment (C) Fund, Small Capitalization Stock Index Investment (S) Fund, and International Stock Index Investment (I) Fund.
Thrift savings plans are also known as defined contribution plans, because the retirement income obtained from the TSP account depends on the contribution made by employees or their agencies during working years. The earnings accumulated through these contributions also affect the retirement income incurred.

I've been contributing to the TSP for years since I am a postal worker. I was late in getting started but I'm sure glad I'm in it now.
