So I’m an E3 OCONUS at the moment.
    I have a 3 year AD contract and will be approaching 1 year in Oct.

    Right now I have 15k Roth IRA (maxed)
    5% TSP for the match (80% C 20% I)
    3k emergency fund

    I see a lot of advice for maxing TSP at this point but I’m not super interested in doing it.

    Since I’ll be back in the states mid 2025 I’m wondering if I should I build up my emergency fund to 10k (I currently save 1k/month) or start investing a portion into my taxed account.

    I know I’ll have more expenses in the US cause I’ll be driving (paid off car). And I’m serving a short contract so maybe it’s good to have more liquid cash than usual?

    Open to opinions and suggestions!
