I am going to move in with my fiancĂ© & I can probably sell for 240k or more. Kitchen & bath have been redone and it is a fairly decent sized place in Bay Ridge Brooklyn in a great building. I want to set aside $30k (at least) to put into my rollover 401k for the next few yrs. What is the best way to maximize my $$ and still be able to withdraw each year. I want to shoot for a minimum of $3,000 a year and hopefully make up the difference in smaller payments throughout the year to get to the maximum contribution. I have a coop with a 59k mortgage.

How should retirement income be taken out of retirement vehicles? I get 2 paychecks a month right now. Should I take out 2 paychecks a months in retirement? Once a year? Right after any jumps in the market? 2) Along the same lines, should any major changes be made in your 401k/ IRAs at the time of retirement (reallocation, etc.)? 2 Questions:

Second question, less ornery I hope: how did the money management industry come to assess fees on % of assets under management, and what can be done (within the industry) to change that immoderate practice?
