Could you explain more? I'm not actually intending on taking money from our currently investing retirement monies. Rather I plan on relying on the new job's retirement program (killer matching offer) for the next two years. We are working on a home downpayment, and using the Roth IRA should get us tax free interest. I don't see what could get F*cked here...
