<prompt> Human: Background: I transferred money from a traditional IRA to Roth IRA. Purchased some Stock. I am buying a home and need quick cash. I read that money that was contributed can be withdrawn at anytime, without penalty, as it has already been taxed. The account is valued at one dollar less than the amount I initially contributed.My thought is that I should be able to take out whatever I put in as Ive made next to nothing. Can anyone help?  <response>: I am buying a home and need quick cash.That sounds like a red flag indication you might not be able to actually afford that home.
