Not wishing to hijack today's other 72T thread I thought I should ask my own question.
I have a solo 401k and other accounts at Vanguard. The 401k is tied to a sole proprietor LLC that is my sole source of income. I will terminate the LLC in 2025 at age 57.
Since I'm effectively firing myself at 57, can I just use the rule of 55 on the 401k? Or do I need to do a 72T?
I'm asking the question now so that I have plenty of time to move/consolidate accounts or do something else to prepare in the meantime. I do plan to build up some cash outside the retirement accounts, but I am not sure it will be enough to sustain us for two years - would it be better to just try harder to achieve that?
