  Ok but I get my paycheck every 2 weeks. You can't withdraw funds from a retirement account until you're 65 (in the USA). Come on now, it's not the same level of risk at all.
  Edit: You can withdraw before 65 but there is a penalty, so I consider that the price of the gamble.
context: This is a friendly reminder to read our rules.
