Personal Investments • Concern about placing international stocks (VTIAX) in taxable

Check out this Vanguard paper on tax efficient placement of international stocks:

I wouldn’t hold emerging markets in taxable but I’m ok with holding total international there. I just don’t think it will make a huge difference for me either way.

Three things to consider: a high deductible health plan with Health Savings Account, used purely as a savings account rather than a spending account (I’m using GEHA HDHP); making at least some of your TSP contributions Roth rather than traditional; letting your sick leave accrue so it can be tacked on to your years of service upon separation.

I agree with using the G Fund. No need to take duration risk.
