The day they do that will be the I cash in. Penalties be damned.

Anythings possible these days. Remember, Andy Stern’s now on Obama’s National Debt Commission.

When it passes the House or the Senate, I'm cashing in all of my retirement accounts, without waiting for the bill to pass both chambers or to be signed. I will not participate in socialism. Also, I won't take the risk that the thugs will stop me from keeping my money.

If you wait, it will be too late.

We’ve already done so.

I cashed in about 1/3 of mine last year to pay off the house. I smelled this idea coming along.

This is a second amendment issue as far as I'm concerned.

Don't cash it in . . . you'll be subject to taxes and penalties on it. Depending on your income tax bracket, you may lose more than 50% of the value.

A better approach might be to take out a loan against the account (you can usually borrow up to 50% of the balance) . . . and then never pay the loan back. This would be even better if the value of those remaining assets decline over time -- since the balance on your loan may end up exceeding the balance in the account and make it impossible for anyone (the IRS or your 401k plan administrator) to recover what you owe.

Amen to that, and the crashing markets will lead to panic as others sell out.

Hubby want’s to retire in two years, maybe he should do it sooner. I wonder if they’ll try to touch Defined Contribution Funds?

What scums...I’m really getting sick over this crap.
