Lol! If you can't figure out the cost of withdrawing from a 401 without FB, you probably shouldn't be investing in a start up. You literally have better odds putting it all on black. Or red. #redlivesmatter

It's not complex - it gets taxed as odinary income + 10% penalty.

Strongly advise against touching the 401k. The taxes are ridiculous when you are younger. Plus you pay penalties. Not worth it

Theranos? Highly recommend you keep your $$ in the 401k, ask family, sell baseball cards whatever

Depending on $, get a zero interest intro cc, take cash or ask for transfer checks and then pay off in the 15mos or whatnot before interest hits risky sounding I know but used that a few years back for some extra cash to buy a foreclosure and paid off in that case

Call company managing your 401k or your tax advisor

Search for "Loan and Withdrawals" in your online account. You will have all the details about the charges and penalties.

Also, consider a loan. I don't know all the details, but I know that if you do it right, you can avoid tax penalties.

The worst part about it is that you are repaying the 401k loan back with post tax money, completely defeats the purpose, not to mention the penalty

Just get a loan from the bank

9 out of 10 start ups fail unless you are tslking about buying options at snapchat I would pass

It's not really a start up - it's a tech company valued at over $1b.

Lending Club

How much $ are you talking? I'm considering investing extra $ in startups but haven't found right ones. Maybe we help each other

Only need ~$12k. Not really worried about the risk in terms if the company will fail.

DONT DO IT!

My partner and I bought our home back in 2020. We got a good deal, low rate. But we want to move into a more spacious SFH. However, as we all know this market is crazy. Everything we want costs $620k+ and bc of rates it makes our mortgage estimates $3500+. We are currently paying $2k. And it looks we need to sell the house simultaneously as look for a new one or our contingency isn’t as attractive. I know it’s based on personal circumstances. But what would you do? - not move, sell and buy?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
