Ask Terry Questions lending money from my retirement funds

lending money from my retirement funds

By Terry Savage on December 17, 2024 | Wild Card

My son needs to borrow $70,000 for one year. What do I need to consider to minimize tax expenses?

Terry Says

Send him to SOFI.com or a bank. You may NOT take money out of your retirement account! Period. There will be fees, penalties (if you’re under 59-1/2) — and TAXES. Plus you lose all future growth of the money!

This is NOT your problem — no matter what the reason! If he is old enough to need $70k then he is old enough to figure out a solution on his own!!!
