Don’t bag up those fallen leaves just yet! Spread them over your garden as a natural winter blanket. This simple step protects your soil from Wisconsin’s harsh winter, locks in moisture, shields plants from frost, and even gives next spring’s caterpillars a cozy place to grow.

💬 “I wish I had known this before taking money out of my 401(k).”

That’s what a friend told me yesterday. She had withdrawn funds from her 401(k) to cover her home down payment — and later found herself paying a huge amount in taxes and penalties. 😣

Her story stuck with me, because I know how many people heard about the 401(k) first-time homebuyer exception. It’s a common mistake, so here’s what you should know 👇

💸 Sure, you can use your 401(k) for downpayment, and there are two main ways — but both come with trade-offs:

1️⃣ 401(k) Withdrawals:
You can withdraw funds, but the amount is taxable income — and if you’re under 59½, there’s usually a 10% early withdrawal penalty.

👉 Many people think there’s a $10,000 exception for first-time homebuyers — but that rule applies only to IRAs, not 401(k)s, unless you roll the funds over first.

2️⃣ 401(k) Loans:
Some plans let you borrow up to 50% of your balance (max $50K), but if you leave your job or can’t repay, it becomes a taxable withdrawal.

✨ Before using retirement funds, always talk to a financial or tax advisor — and your real estate agent (me!) can help you explore better options and connect you with trusted professionals.
