Withdrawal

Money taken out of an account. In retirement accounts, early withdrawals of earnings can bring taxes and penalties; in a regular brokerage account, withdrawals are simply sales, taxed by normal rules. The withdrawal rules are the price of the tax advantages — they exist to keep retirement money retired.

For your first $100: Nothing about your first $100 out should be planned. Know only this: retirement accounts reward money that stays. That is the design, not a trap.
