Even if it does close who cares? I mean who cares on a personal financial level, not a national patriotic level.
Anyway its called FDIC. Collect your finances, switch banks, move on. |

How long does it take to get money from fdic though? depends, if the bank is sold to another your money will be available as normal on monday ( well really whenever the transaction holds expire). If the bank is not bought they FDIC will cut you a check which may take a little longer. |

Yup, It's either that or live with my parents for another 5 years at least while I pay off the second. I took a huge pay cut when I got laid off, I have a great job with a local city now but revenue is low so no raises for quite some time. I was very lucky to get a job period so I am not leaving to be at the bottom of the ladder at a company that I have no Idea how solid they are. With cashing out my retirement, I can pay the rest of my second off in a year maybe less and then may be able to buy a house with what I make and keep my house in California to use as income when I retire. Or sell it when the value gets back to where it's worth selling. |

You can usually start collecting money from your retirement accounts without penalties before age 65. You just have to know the IRS codes and rules which follow certain mathematical formulas which are revised every year.Anyway, you likely won't be able to recoup the financial momentum you've lost by cashing out early. It takes thirty years of compounding interest to get to the point where you can't mathematically run out of money. I don't know how much you had invested and what not, but you might end up needing to double or triple the amount of money you invest every year, later on in your life, to make up for the time you've lost.

I went through this almost 2 years ago when Netbank hit an iceberg and sank. Your direct deposit will be fine. My direct deposits kept working fine for almost 2 months after the accounts were transitioned over to ING by FDIC, and then all I had to do was update my direct deposit form with my employer.
