  1. Well let me clarify, I keep all my money in long term mutual funds, some of which are in a roth which has been maxed out every year, so most of my down payment will come from withdrawing investments. Is it a smart decision to utilize the tax-free $10k first home withdrawl from the roth, or better to pull the money from a normal mutual fund and pay the tax on the gains while leaving the roth intact?
  2. The first question is asking the best method of funding a down payment, and the second question is asking about contribution limits, what does that have to do with bad ideas? Only the third question is actually about a potential idea.
  3. First question: I understand I can take $10k penalty-free from my roth IRA for a first time home buying down payment. Halfway through my twenties, is it smarter to use this or take out the money from a taxed non-ira account? Both accounts are long term 8-10% mutual funds. Second question: If I take out the $10k from my roth, which I understand will remove contributions first, what if I can't close on a house and don't end up using it...can I put that money back as if nothing happened? I've maxed out my contributions ever year, so would I be able to put that $10k back as a whole, or am I stuck back with the ~$5k per year limit? According to https://www.wellsfarg...ent/ira/faq.jsp: Is that applicable to what I'm asking? Third question: A variable rate mortgage offers the lowest APR and is locked in for the first five years, is this a safe option since we will be moving by then anyways?
  4. I'm currently at the in-between time you speak of. Many dudes got married right after graduating with no issue. Just let your flight commander know a few months out. As for average time, it is different for everyone, some guys left for SERE the weekend after graduation, others have a 3-4 months wait with nothing.

  8. Best reason for a hook I've heard about this year was for a stud not writing his name correctly in his dash 1. Bam, 88 ride, $1600 of gas, and another jet/ip taken (and 88 pilots are flt/cc or higher).
  9. Anyone else aware of the pass rate of check rides in T-1 phase 3 UPT right now at certain units?

    Do you have any more info on this? I'm currenty sitting in VT-3 doing nothing with an IFS start date in January 2011, and my fiance and I have based our wedding plans off of this fact. If they pull me over to start earlier it could affect our plans. I'm assuming I would've heard something by now...but you never know.
