Reply to comment by Knipfty in Loan against my savings? by [deleted]

Yes, that is an option, but I'm thinking it would bump up my taxes.

The way it was explained to me, I won't have to sell. They would just lend me my own money, and I would pay it back (with interest that would also go back to me.) I'm wondering if that is wiser than selling when everything is so low right now.

By how much? I would find a way not to sell or borrow money. If you borrow against yourself and the market goes down, you could faced with a margin call.

So, I'm thinking I'll just pull out the $30K, which wouldn't trigger a tax event, since the value has dropped so low, and just continue my bi-monthly contributions...
