did you not start an IRA this year (individual recreational / travel account)?
What does my Roth IRA retirement account have to do with traveling currently ? Funds are not available until you are 60, or buying a house.Quote:

Lockdowns there aren’t like lockdowns here - very strict
Buuuuut I’ll send over a message with some recommendations for you <3
it appears that you have pre-conceived irdeas about certain things.Quote:

in other words, you totally missed the idea behind my comnent.
good luck in getting strangers to fund you travels.
btw, generally speaking, you cannot do an early (<59 1/2) withdraw from a roth w/ out paying a penalty.
however, Roth Individual Retirement Arrangement contributions can always be withdrawn at any time.
and as long as you take equal distributions for life, you can withdraw at any time.

Happy new year!
If it's a Roth, you can take amount you've contributed at any time (not that it's a good idea for a vacation, nor can you touch the earnings).Quote:

If it hasn’t beeen five years, it hasn’t, it will be a 10% fee.Quote:

as crock mentioned/confirmed roth contributions can be withdrawn at any time (even the irs docs & cited web articles state that).
karissa, wrt this "... you know how miserable some men can be when they see escorts enjoying their life ;) ..."
did i ever mention/intimate i was miserable cos someone was enjoying or wanted enjoyment in their life?
appears to me that there could be some mis-reading and/or incorrect reading between the lines going on...
Yes you can withdraw early from your IRA if you want to pay a 10% penalty. Why on earth would you suggest I do such a thing?
I told you specifically during our session that I was saving money and starting an IRA. And you felt the need to come bring that up here for some reason? (something that was discussed privately behind closed doors.) I asked for travel recommendations, I’m not sure why you brought up my savings account.
You seem very two-faced. After our meeting you sent me a message saying that you had a great time. But then you went and wrote negative things.
Karissa was not reading between the lines: you were trying to start something. Not sure what you were trying to accomplish.
So I’ll just ignore your future comments LMFAO

Bella - safe travels and please do take lots of photos!
Again, if it's a Roth, then you can access your contributions (not your earnings) any time without penalty. Traditional IRA has penalties because it's tax deferred, of course.Quote:

Have fun
My one all purpose Ireland travel tip. Comes in several easy steps:
1. Get in your car
2. Drive to a nice North Dallas neighborhood - pick one south of LBJ
3. Drive a few miles staying on the alleys
That will give you a good idea of what the roads are like in a lot of Ireland. They must not believe in eminent domain there. Those sheep can graze right up to the line of stones or the fence that is VERY close to the road itself. Sometimes, the sheep are on the road. I could see the ferryboat getting ready to pull out, and the damn sheep in my way did not care!! (Had to wait a half hour for the ferry to come back to my side of the river.)
And when that big old lorry is coming right at you, try not to panic. There really is "some" room for both of you on that Irish road.
On yeah - drive on the left when you get there. Don't try that in North Dallas. Can you turn left on red at the light? Beats me, ask the lucky Irish guy who gets to answer your question. Everything will be just "grand".
I'm still a little salty for allowing myself to get talked out of an Ireland trip. But hey, we were young and engaged and it was her birthday. She wanted Vegas, she got Vegas. We had an awesome time but at the end of the day, fuck Wayne Newton. I'll never forgive him for cancelling on us that one hot summer night back in '02.
Enjoy the trip, hope it's coming together.
Whenever I travel, I like to use Rick Steves as one source of inspiration. So if you have some extra prep/browse time, might consider this link... https://www.ricksteves.com/europe/ireland
The IRA discussion made me smile, IRA for an Irish Personn means Irish Republican Army and was the army part of the sein feinn political part which leads many terrorist attacks back in the days.
Anyway Bella, I went several times in Ireland, this is a wonderful country, January will be. Undoubtedly cold and rainy. But you will always. Make friends there, just go in any bar and you will have somebody to chat and music to listen.
so many places to visit outside Dublin. If you stay a couple of weeks, you. Have to go in Limerick, Galway and cork.
my favorite part is all the way in the north of the Republic of Ireland in county donegal. The landscape is beautiful and wild.
may be we need to arrange a session together to discuss all these.
take care
I had a great time and I got unbelievably lucky with the weather! It was sunny several days and in the 40s and 50s. While it was below freezing over here!
Landed in Dublin, drove down to Enniscorthy, then Dungarvan, then Cork/blarney. Circled back through Clonmel and portlaoise before heading back to Dublin. This is the Blarney castle
(our home likes to turn my pictures around lol I’m sorry)

very cool, glad you had fun!
Sounds pretty awesome. Good for you girl!!! Hope you sent your "fav" concerned followers a post card with all the specifics except your IRA info smfh
Ireland is a great place to visit. I go every other year. Looks like you had fun. Next time try Northern Ireland and Scotland. Visit England but that needs its own trip.

Nice pics of you. I see you. Kissed the Blarney Stone at the top of the castle which brings the gift of eloquence.
take care and see you soon.
Ahhh..nice! A bit jelly, cut cool!
