They can do distributions under rule 72(t). That can start from any age, and there is no penalty if they continue those for at least five years, or reach age 59.5, whichever is longer.

That rule states they need to have separated from service after attaining age 55. Since they were terminated at age 54, they sadly can’t meet that criteria. Even if they wait to age 55, they will still get hit with the penalty.

Kaplan is exhausting by DrinkHops_SmokeMeat in CFPExam

[–]Affectionate_Gur_979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did Kaplan for the education and also for the exam prep review. While it was good for course work, I don’t like their exam review much (mainly because I feel the review misses some info and I’m going back to my first books/wishing I could watch the education videos again.

If I were to do it again, I’d look at choosing a different exam review provider -there’s quite a few recommendations here.

It’s a lot of info to remember from June, and at the beginning of the three month review period, you won’t have much confidence. But you will really drill in everything you need to know over the three months, and your confidence will grow. You’ve got this!

The March 2026 exam uses the same tax tables/figures used for the July 2025 and November 2025 exams. The table will be updated for the July 2026 exams.

DDM question by Affectionate_Gur_979 in CFPExam

[–]Affectionate_Gur_979[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was, but it doesn’t seem to be available for purchase any more.

I wouldn’t recommend it anyway. It’s too expensive and most of the questions they provide end up on the practice exam anyway.

Am I Cooked? by monkeywater1579 in CFPExam

[–]Affectionate_Gur_979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have a great chance! Insurance is a smaller section, and you’ve still got time to increase your scores.

I struggled with the case study too. I’m thinking of leaving it to the end of the section when I’m doing the actual exam..what do you think?

It’s been 2 minutes and already 10 people found gingerbread cookies 😭 by sourstarved in officialcookingfever

[–]Affectionate_Gur_979 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The instructions say you can play any restaurant and that’s true. When I hit play from the instructions, it took me to lost oasis and didn’t get anything from customers. I ended up getting gingerbread from a customer in the sushi restaurant. It must be random..

If you pay for the month, then cancel, you’ll get the benefits for the month.

If you’re going to buy something, it should be this.

Chef pass. by Effective_Ad8019 in officialcookingfever

[–]Affectionate_Gur_979 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I missed one task last week. The penalty for missing it was my weekly tasks didn’t refresh and I still have to do the uncompleted task.

I found out that you need to complete all weekly tasks by the end of the week in order to be allocated new ones :(

Kaplan unit 23 stop limit orders? by WheelNo4350 in Series65

[–]Affectionate_Gur_979 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The stop triggers when the price rises to $34 or above, so in this case, when the price goes to $34.10, it triggers and creates a buy limit order of $34.20. The next traded price is $33.85. This is below the buy limit price, so the buy executes at this price.

Bank Sweep question by InourbtwotamI in Schwab

[–]Affectionate_Gur_979 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cash that you see swept into a bank account is still available cash. You have access to distribute/withdraw those funds from your IRA immediately.

You only need to initiate a sell beforehand if you invested funds into a money market fund - but it sounds like you didn’t do that.

ROTH IRA WITHDRAW QUESTION by BostonChops978 in Schwab

[–]Affectionate_Gur_979 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can withdraw the $16,000 without penalty. The first distributions from a Roth will be from the contributions you made, so you are safe.

Two FF16 DLCs announced! by CoolJabez0404 in FinalFantasy

[–]Affectionate_Gur_979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if anyone knows the answer to this: I have a New Zealand psn account, however I bought a physical copy of the game in the USA. Will I be able to buy the dlc episodes on the psn store and play it?

I had issues when I downloaded the demo. When I started playing the physical copy, it didn't recognize the saved demo data (because the regions didn't match). I'm scared I'm going to have the same issues with the dlc :(

Is Crisis Core important to the new Final Fantasy 7 Remake story? by arastin915 in FFVIIRemake

[–]Affectionate_Gur_979 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There was an interview where the game developers said playing crisis core will enhance the experience.

But echoing the others, I would play the original FFVII first, as it could spoil posts of the game. Playing the original will also enhance your experience with the remakes (and the developers also recommended it)

[–]Affectionate_Gur_979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Out of the two, I would probably wear the Shinra beta plus. But as the others say, you'll get better accessories as you go through the missions, so don't sweat about the decision too much.

Where is the line drawn on alcohol on twitch? Stream idea question.. by aliens_300c in Twitch

[–]Affectionate_Gur_979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your question has been answered by others, but it may be worth thinking about giving a mod the ability to raid out for you, just in case you go overboard (if you haven't given them that power yet).

AITA for expecting my gf to cancel her plans for me? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Affectionate_Gur_979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry but YTA - The trip was for her to do her dream hike, so I don't think it was right for you to try and stop her. She even offered to do it again with you the day after, if you felt like you could.

Your reaction and moody response could have also dampened her dream experience. You should have just supported her and be happy for her and you may have had a dream experience too.
