Roth is not that liquid and especially not for an emergency fund.


Unless you need the funds in 24 hours or less, it can be a useful emergency fund. I've withdrawn from mine in the past and had funds in my bank account in 48 hours.

Correct. Roth principal is tax and penalty free. Monies converted from a traditional IRA to a Roth AND aged over 5 years are penalty free. Any earning on Roth principal are taxed and assessed a penalty unless owner is over 59 1/2 or a qualifying withdrawal. I am not sure you can replace principal that is withdrawn early from a Roth.

Funds in most cash value policy can be ETF to a checking account in less than 24 hours. If taken as a loan, these funds can be replaced. If taken as a surrender, limitations on replacements will apply from company to company.
