Anyone have experience with losing half your tsp to your ex?
All said and done I’ll still have about $500k but I want to retire in 5 years. Any advice?

The wife of almost 30 years and I have mutually agreed to move on separately. No animosity, Our lives have just diverged over time and we have different ideas about what we want to be doing in retirement.
That said, I’m planning to keep the house. The original mortgage will be paid off in 3 years but the value of the property has more than doubled since we bought it. My wife floated the idea of instead of me taking on a new 300+k high interest mortgage to buy her out that I instead transfer the $ from my tsp to her 401k.

I’m currently at just over $900k in my tsp with a planned 5 years to retirement.

If I do this I would drop to under $600k in my tsp but I’ll have a $700k home free and clear in 3 years.
Is my best bet to keep the tsp and take on the 300k mortgage or her idea?

I started taking Qelbred a week ago and was already on a GLP agonist (zepbound)
The combination almost makes me want to eat nothing at all. The past couple days just one small meal and the heartburn… ugh!
Do the digestive issues subside over time? I’m not sure if I can continue much longer like this.

My head hair is clipped to the scalp so I make up for it with facial hair. The beard is mostly gray but I don’t like dying it. Should just go ahead and dye it with touch of gray or should I shave clean? Can’t post pictures here I guess.
What’s the consensus generally speaking for a bald guy? Gray beard, dyed beard or no beard?
