would you drain all your accounts?
Hey everyone, I wanted to draw out everyone's opinion. I have a 401k that is matched by my employer, so I contribute to that. It's a no brainer since it's free money. All of my other savings is 50/50 split between savings and my wealthfront account. The wealthfront account does pretty well at a 12% return. My question is, if this were your, when the time comes to put the down payment on a property, would you drain both savings and the wealthfront account for the down payment? Or would you only allow the savings to be accessed as a source of capital for RE, and the wealthfront account should stay put to continue producing another source of income.
