Joined this wonderful site a year ago and visit almost daily to soak up retirement wisdom. Have learned much and feel well prepared and ready. I will be retiring at the end of December 2013 at age 59. Woo Hoo! I will receive about $31,000 of compensation and unused sick leave payable in 2014. My dilemma is how to take those funds. As the time gets closer, my gut tells me to take it in cash, bite the bullet and pay the income tax, stash the cash, and then fund my Roth instead of putting the max into my 403b. My pension is not Colaed. It will meet my needs far into the future. I have a sizeable 403b and taxable accounts. My emergency fund contains a year and a half of expenses. I would use some of the $$ to take a dream trip. Comments or suggestions are most welcome. Thanks in advance.
