TSP= thrift savings plan. It's a traditional or Roth retirement account that was rolled out for service members a few years back when the retirement system was reformed from the 20yrs or nothing model. They will match your contributions dollar for dollar up to 3% and at .5 per dollar from 3-5% so that's basically free money. It's a no brainer to at least put in the 5% they'll match. G funds are one of the available investment choices within TSP. They are very low risk/low reward, so basically a bad choice for anyone who is not about to retire. They have more aggressive funds you can choose or lifecycle funds which are based on your anticipated retirement age and are a diversified mix of funds that adjust risk/aggressiveness as you get closer to retirement.

If you get a discount better than the interest rates of you investing the money, then it's a good idea. Or maybe, If you have a Job that has a variable income, and you have the fear of not being able to pay rent some of the months.

See "How to handle collections" here:

Consider sending a dispute letter (as documented in the link above). If they respond with the original contract used to rent the apartment, point out that your name isn't on that contract. If they fake your name on the contract, point out that you were a minor, and unable to legally sign a contract at that time.
