In 2006, I took a pre-approved In-Service withdrawal from my 401K in the amount of $28,000 and it was directly deposited into a Rollover IRA within 2 days. This allowed me greater flexibility with investment choices. What, if any, are the tax consequences? (Yes, I am asking after the fact!) Thank you in advance!

Like, if you die and you've got children, do they pay for it?

I was thinking...couldn't it technically be extortion if you being an elderly citizen take out a reverse mortgage on your house and blow all the money. Then, when you die, you'll have no money and no equity in your house. Are your children stuck with the debt?

I need every penny I make NOW. If I put away $1000 every year until I'm 65, and I get REALLY, REALLY lucky with my investments, I "might" have $60K by the time I'm 65. That would give me $6000 a year until I'm 75....then what do I do? If I'm going to have to work until I'm 75 anyway, then hope I die before I hit 80....what's the point of investing money I can use NOW?

I try to live off of $100 a week at most if I can.
Do you think that is too much, or not enough? Please consider I have to buy gas every week for work ($25 - $30 for gas), and food with that.

I am so used to just having a savings account and a credit card account in Australia. I am moving to the UK soon and will probably open an account from here. Does the debit card work like a credit card?

I am an 18 year old college student with no credit. I live with my parents and have no car of my own (no collateral). The only thing I feel I have going for me is a steady job (albeit a low paying one). That being said, the reason I wish to take out such a loan is that I (along with a friend) would like to purchase a small trailer in a town near my own to fix up and resell. I understand the market is in the toilet right now, but I feel that I am up to the challenge (or at least I hope I am). I realize that 60,000 dollars is a whole lot of money and that if this doesn't go my way (if it's even possible) I'd be in some serious debt. Regardless, I have done much research and while I don't at all consider myself an expert on the topic of real estate, I really believe that I can do this and I think it would be worthwhile experience. If anyone has any information about someone in my position taking out a loan this large or any tips on flipping houses, I would appreciate your input. Thanks.
