The housing market is expected to be busier than usual this winter as some home buyers rush to act before the Federal Reserve raises interest rates—which some analysts say could happen as early as December.
Some consumers who haven’t yet been able to save the money for a down payment may be tempted to raid their retirement accounts for the cash. Indeed, first-time home buyers have several options for tapping their nest eggs before retirement without having to pay the 10 percent penalty charged for early withdrawals.
For people with decent retirement savings, borrowing or withdrawing from a retirement account can be a way to diversify investments by buying an asset that can add to their total net worth. But people considering the move should take into account all of the costs they might face, including interest, lost investment growth and potential penalties if plans fall apart.
In most cases, the home in question doesn’t actually have to be a person’s first home. Generally, the IRS requires that a person using retirement funds to buy a home must not have owned a home in the past two years. The house must be the person’s main home.
The specific requirements for dipping into savings vary depending on the type of retirement account. Savers using 401 (k) plans can take loans of up to 50 percent of their vested account balance, with a maximum of $ 50,000, to help pay for a main home. Savers can also withdraw up to $ 10,000 from a traditional IRA or a Roth IRA penalty-free to buy a first home for themselves, their spouse or their children.
For most savers using retirement funds to buy a home, one of the biggest downsides is that the move cuts down on the amount of time their savings are invested in stocks and other markets. While borrowers are using the money to make an investment, the growth potential for the property may not be as large as the potential growth the cash might have seen had it stayed invested, says Meghan Murphy, a director with Fidelity Investments.
People who borrow from their retirement accounts one time may also be tempted to borrow again, Murphy says, creating a dangerous habit of serial borrowing. Plus, people who have taken loans from their 401 (k) s are also more likely to take hardship withdrawals, which are allowed to help pay for emergencies and which are subject to taxes and a 10 percent penalty.
At the end of the day, what’s best will depend on a person’s situation. Taking away $ 10,000 from a retirement account won’t necessarily make or break a person’s retirement. But savers should understand the full consequences of the move before they decide. [br] What does "tapping their nest eggs" (Lines 2-3, Para. 2) probably mean?
选项
A、Breaking their formed habits.
B、Using their reserved funds.
C、Losing their treasured collections.
D、Oversetting their previous plans.
答案
B
解析
由题干中的Lines 2-3,Para.2定位至第二段第二句。语义理解题。本段主要讨论从养老金中提前支取现金的情况,其首句中就提到养老金缴纳者会raid their retirement accounts for the cash,而定位句之后的段落则开始讨论提前支取养老金的几种不同情况。根据这些内容可推断,本词组的意思是使用养老金缴纳者储存的资金,故答案为B)。
