correct it changed but my understanding is you can wait and do a lump sum distribution on the 10th year. I was saying you don't have to take a minimum withdrawal each year like with the traditional IRA or 401k.
Something you may not be thinking about, but may be worth consideration. If you plan on leaving an inheritance to your children or other beneficiaries, the Roth is much more beneficial to them since it doesn't carry a mandatory distribution over a 10 year period and is still tax free to them. This gives them the option of letting it grow for an additional 10 years still tax free before they have to withdraw after 10 years.

If the kids understand how great of a gift a ROTH is it may be worth considering. If they will just cash it out it may be worth you taking advantage of the tax free growth.
Congrats! You are basically a millionaire now. Just have to keep doing the same thing for 25-30 years
The first 500billion is the hardest. Should be smooth sailing from there to a trillion.

If you are married, my understanding is Louisiana requires a spouse's signature when adding or changing beneficiaries so it has to be done on paper through the mail.

Not 100% on this but that is what i remember being told when I changed it for life insurance.
Who is playing Teen Jesus in the upcoming TeenJus series by Uncle Baby Billy Freeman? I am sure they will be on the top of the list.
I just wish they had some Put options available.

It is like they charge more just because it is convenient. Crazy concept.

no I don't care at all just providing accurate information for a common misnomer. Most people do not know what the actual name of the character is.

does this PE teaching job have one of those great teacher's retirement plan? If so stick it our until you are locked into the retirement then figure something out.

Maybe transfer schools to get a change of scenery.
