Will you be penalized for taking savings out early? I'm in the process of buying a home and a decent medical bill came in and I didn't want to touch the saving for home stuff so was considering taking a few grand out of my Roth to cover this bill. TIA

You won't be taxed for withdrawing contributions to a Roth IRA. Also, any earnings you withdraw could be exempt if you're a first time homebuyer and/or your medical expenses qualify.

Whether or not its a smart idea to withdraw from your retirement account, as opposed to your down-payment savings, is another question.
