Our meat-puppet mania about passionately arguing about automobiles is once again showcased in full fig.Queen - I'm In Love With My CarBy BP standards doesn’t matter if you sit here and read BP posts for the rest of your life, and never actually invest in RE.Just don’t buy a nice car, or you’re automatically considered a failure at life even if you are already a millionaire.That's the point, neither the OP nor the majority on here are millionaires...

And either type of account would go a long way to giving you control.Cashing out takes more thought when IRS will take a 10% penalty plus 25-35% in taxes leaving you with a lot less than you have now.We're I in your shoes, I would move but I would not cash out.
