    However, I just looked at my checking account and see that my tax refund has come in, so let’s say 4.5 months saved. Let’s talk about this during our Zoom call which I will schedule as soon as I figure out what my own work schedule looks like.

    I see online that you have 'til the end of 2020 to pull money out of your 401k. So, if it were me, I'd wait until you build up your 6 months of savings to weather a further downturn before making further decisions.

    Nobody can predict what the stock market will do. I think the only thing to do is to assume that, in the long run, it will increase and to buffer yourself in the short-term for any such deep drops.

        Apparently not. I suspect that they didn't want the stock market to fall through the floor by having everybody pull their money out at the same time. OTOH, if DJT refuses to leave office and the economy is still in the tank, that may happen, anyway.
