Pay Off Debt or Invest?
Start a fund for your wedding, no matter who you are and how less you intend to spend, at some time you will have to and if it is more than 3 years away, invest this money with that goal in mind.

What percentage of income should be savings? - YNAB
But for retirement that is many years off, it is extremely unlikely that you'll come up with an accurate figure needed, so using a percentage makes sense to me. I remember the book saying that if you followed these principles and didn't overspend on the rest of you money you really didn't even need to keep a budget because you would be fine

Why I Would Pay Off My Mortgage over Investing in the Market Every Time - Modest Money
Shame on you for misleading people to support your argument and belief, this is just as egregious as your friends that give you grief and do no research. You should invest your extra money insteadCompound interest is an amazing thing and should be taken advantage of, so this argument holds a little bit of weight, but investments do not always increase at a high rate of return
How to Withdraw 401(k) Money With No Penalty Withdrawing 401(k) money without penalties requires waiting until the minimum age for taking out money, requesting an old 401(k) fund from past... When Should I Take Money From My 401k if I Am 60 Years Old? Can I Take Money Out of My 401K at the Age of 55? 401k plans are a common mechanism of funding retirement...
Exceptions to the 10 Percent Rule The IRS waives the penalty on early withdrawals from 401k plans if you execute a rollover to an IRA or other qualified retirement plan, or you are over age 55 and have left your employer. He hasnt invested it in anything since I left, he even wrote me the check when I left with his name on it as a trustee but because I am unemployed, the bank I have wouldnt open an IRA for me saying I couldnt contribute to it
Most clients with a 401(k) account also have investments outside of their 401(k) so we do try to keep everything allocated in line with their Investment Policy Statement. In retrospect, the downside protection was enough and I should have went ALL IN!Back in June, everybody was afraid the Euro Debt Crisis would spread and take down stocks further

60 yo, should I start moving my 401K to safety? (bond, IRA, fund) - Investing -stocks, bonds, mutual funds, trading, market, brokers... - City-Data Forum
i have been an investor since the crash of 1987 and i am still waiting for that time i feel comfortable enough to be in equity investments without fearing the next crash was around the corner. Vanguard was from a previous employer and right on target for my age, Fidelity is weighted more heavily in stocks from personal IRA's in there, then I have I bonds and bank CD IRA's so I'm sitting tight
Should I Stop Contributing to My 401k to Pay Off Debt?
Reply RC February 25, 2009 at 11:36 pm @edh- One thing to keep in my is that your 401k contributions are not tax-free but tax-deferred, which means you would pay taxes on your contributions and earned interest when you reach retirement age and started withdrawals. Reply RC September 17, 2008 at 8:19 pm @Shawn- What you say definitely makes sense-one should look at the total amount over the expected payoff period, and one can make up contributions (assuming they are not maxing out) and get a match on that later
Should I Use My 401(k) for Real Estate Investing?
Reply Kaye May 9, 2014 at 8:48 am I am looking to use my 401k money to purchase an investment property that I want to use in future for my retirement home. Investment real estate has tax advantages of its own, including the deferral of capital gains tax through 1031 exchanges and just plain holding on to properties, rather than selling
I maintained a loan for about a year before I felt comfortable again that I was able to build up my emergency savings to a satisfactory level and subsequently paid off my TSP loan 14 years early. If the folks in Washington that think they now how to manage your money better than you do have their way, you will be forced to convert these accounts to annuities at retirement
We are down to a mortgage balance of 44,000 and our retirement account now has a sad balance of 186,000 which of course will more than likely take more hits as time goes on. Is your 401k your only source of retirement funds or do you have a company pension or other investments? How much longer do you plan to work? Do you plan on retiring soon or a few years from now? Finally cost of living has to be figured in as well

If there is no match, you will actually end up losing money, because when you retire the government will subtract from your social security benefits if you exceed their limits, which is very very low. It sounds good but do you think thats a pretty good return? I am not really savy on the retirement note other than the fact that I am 33 and know I have to save
