    How much $ to retire and how to fund your lifestyle in retirement

    But, you can withdraw any and all contributions to your Roth as long as the Roth has been open for 5 years. So, you can't take out any gains without penalty, but any money that you put in can be taken out tax (you put it in after tax) and penalty free.

    Also, check out the 401k rule of 55, which allows you to take money from a 401k penalty free if you leave your job at age 55 or later: The Rule of 55

    Supercharger - Fairfield, TX

    It looks like it's open? I don't have my Tesla any more, so I can't check the status, but on Tesla's Findus page, it shows as open.

    Supercharger - Hamilton, TX

    Ok, I'll bite. What's worth seeing in Hamilton? We drive through there frequently as it's between Arlington and San Antonio, but have never stopped for more than gas and a Blizzard.

    Supercharger - Arlington, TX - E Bardin Rd

    I stopped by today to check things out. There are two meters in place, but there are no lights on the bollards. There are also no number tags on them. It looks like they just need to be activated by Tesla.

    Supercharger - San Antonio, TX - North Loop 1604 East

    Yes, all of the northern and western half of 1604 is 2 lanes (or more) each way, divided highway. I don't get around the south or east sides, so I don't know about them.

    Supercharger - Bastrop, TX

    Thanks for the pictures! It looks like it is 3 sets of 4 pre-fab units, which matches the 12 unit description. This should be up in no time (depending upon the transformer, of course).

    US Resident Early Retirement Strategies

    Don't forget that if you're doing a rule 72(t) SEPP, the "RMD" method is not a minimum, but an exact number. The IRS updated the mortality table for this year and reduced the amount that will be withdrawn (as compared to last year's table). I'll be 53 this year so my dictated withdrawal rate...
