Here's a question I've been chewing on for a while, if I put all of my retirement savings in an IRA, if I decide I can retire before 59-1/2 am I going to have to pay an additional 10% penalty every year until that 59-1/2 mark? If so, that's going to HURT!
EDIT: It looks like there is a way to make early withdrawals, but it carries some risk. There is the 72(t) Substantially Equal Periodic Payments (SEPP) option. It would require some planning to get it right, though.
