Reply to comment by iguesswhatevs in Just got my check from former employer closing my 401k account by iguesswhatevs
401k has a 10% early withdrawal penalty. So you'd pay taxes at the base rate (and may owe more, they don't know what your total income will be) so in the numbers you gave as an example you were taxed 20%, but your tax obligation may be 24% for instance, so you'd owe an additional $400 in that case PLUS the early withdrawal 10% penalty on the amount not rolled over if you don't roll all the money into a tax deferred account. So again using 2,000 in this example you'd owe $200 in penalties. In total you'd owe $2000(base tax)+$400(actual tax rate difference)+$200(early withdrawal penalty)=$2600. I think you're confusing taxes with penalties when they're two separate things and additive in this case. If you put the gross $10,000 back into a trad IRA or 401k then you owe no taxes and no penalties, you'll be refunded come tax time.

>New bank, new account, move money = problem solved.
I am worried it will only open a new problem, which will be emotional blackmail from parents as in "Why won´t you add us on your new account, we need you, we are familly,..." But you can´t really deal with it in any other way I guess.

Thank you! My monthly payment on my student loan is $250, but I think it’s a good idea to focus on the personal loan first so I don’t end up paying tons in interest

Reply to How much 401k loan should I take? by tomsen12
I would take the PMI option at lower down payment.
Lot of 401k loans also prohibit you from contributing to the account until the loan is fully paid. This effectively means you also lose any employer matches, IIRC.

Reply to comment by WhatRUsernamesUsed4 in My Roth IRA is 100% invested into VTSAX. Is it an issue to keep investing in VTSAX each year? by dennisj9
Sorry bro your post makes zero sense. I wish you luck in your wealth building FYI VTSAX closely mirrors s&p 500 which has a non inflation adjusted return of 11.58%. Lets touch base in 30 years and see who has more money :)

Don't take a loan from your 401k.
And if you must, don't take more than you absolutely need.

My student loan is a private loan so they are essentially allowed to do whatever they want, interest is still accruing on it and I’m still required to make payments 😔
