I lost a loved one last year and it was a wake up call - life is too short to not have ANY work/life balance.

Hi @Andrew Hinspater,I have been setting up my last couple LLCs in Wyoming.

He was probably blindsided by a question asking him how much he made in the last year from his guru like activities.

You want an accountant that can help you strategize and who is responsive when you want to know the tax consequences of the decisions you are making throughout the year.Good luck in your search.

I didnt provide clear enough guidance to my contractor on every last detail and the expectations of the finishing touches I needed.

The only thing is my property taxes go up with no limit with the increase in property values, 17% the last assessment.

That last part is important and I realize not everyone has the flexibility to do that, but since we do it seems like an edge.

@Willam KuczmeraIf you decide to proceed with the distribution, the following IRS web page is a good resource for the rules and tax consequences. https://www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/plan-participant-employee/401k-resource-guide-plan-participants-general-distribution-rules
