<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1571350, member: 26302&quot;]OP, these things got off on tangents liek they usually do, (and I am a culprit usually as well, so I am not throwing stones). For your personal situation, I would say this. Never forget the PRIMARY advantage of a retirement account is its tax deferral, something that will become more and more important. I read Wednesday morning the Speaker of the house welcomes the president&#039;s &quot;new taxes&quot; and wishes to &quot;work with him&quot;. This is political code to your taxes are about to get jacked up. </p><p><br /></p><p>Retirement accounts allow you to put more money to work for the same loss in your paycheck. This is HUGE. Please do not overlook that.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I had a firm opinion of what to do, I would say keep your 401k where it was at, and every year when youa re scheduled to get a raise increase it. You will still get more money in your paycheck and eventually you can work your way up to 15%. This is very prudent regardless of what you choose to invest it in.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any extra money feel free to put in silver bullion. If you wish to buy more, I would suggest a weekend job, and invest all of the proceeds in bullion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, I have all of the accounting and financial alphabet combination letters after my name, but those are just confirming my opinion on this subject I have had since I was 17. I was one of the &quot;weirdos&quot; working extra jobs in college and buying silver bullion when every financial guru in the world was proclaiming it a horrible idea. Its not, but it should never be done at the expense of tax defered account funding.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
