For those looking to move back to India, does it make sense to withdraw 401(k) given the 10% penalty is being waived off at the moment? And you have a 3 yr window to pay tax on the withdrawal.

I just did a full withdrawal but there's so many factors that there isn't an easy or quick answer

I called Fidelity and they walked me through the CARES act withdrawal. you do have to self certify that you were somehow impacted financially by the virus.

for me the timing worked out as I would like to use the cash to pay down debt as my personal belief is that the market will be shaky for a long while (18-36 months).

it really depends on how you see the future outlook of the market, your own savings etc. use it as a last resort

I’ve always been a big saver minimum 15% to maxing out my 401k since I graduated college. I’m married to someone who thinks 6% is enough and likes $$$ cars. Other than the cars, they dont really spend money. For the married 🐠, how do you have the conversation with them that what they are doing isn’t enough? I try to guide them and say you want the $$$ cars but the salary you have won’t get there and you’re going to have to find a job that gets them the salary…. Then the fight starts.

27, paid off car, student loans left is $18.5k, investments at $22.3k, trying to go to grad school PT by next summer. employer willing to pay $5.5k/yearly, would take me 2.3ish years to complete, projected price would be $23k after tuition reimbursement. what’s the best way to pay through school, i feel like it doesn’t make sense to put money into a 529 if i plan to withdraw so soon? thoughts were max out my 403B, show an AGI of 70K and get low cost student loans out? does this make sense to do?

Long time in the making; but we finally sold off from our 50% HWB short. We had two tests at the 3400 level, getting as high as 3420 today before the sell off.
