With the -q option ntpd operates as in continuous mode, but exits just after setting the clock for the first time. Most applications will probably want to specify the iburst option with the server command. With this option a volley of messages is exchanged to groom the data and set the clock in about ten seconds. If nothing is heard after a few minutes, the daemon times out and exits without setting the clock.
1 Your withdrawal will be subject to a 10% early withdrawal penalty tax. 2  If you roll your 401k plan over to an IRA the retirement age 55 provision will not apply. 3  The earliest age at which you can withdraw funds from a traditional IRA account without penalty taxes is age 59 Â½.
You cannot start taking withdrawals from your 401k until you reach 59 years and 6 months of age (and the earliest for social security is 62) so you'll need to have some liquid assets saved for the mean time. If you're going to retire that early you'd need to have planned a budget for 40 (or 45) years. To decide if this is feasible you'll need to figure out how much income you'll need each year in retirement.
