what is the usual process of taking a withdrawal from your own funds in a Roth IRA? is 
it as simple as informing the institution (T Rowe Price, Fidelity, etc) and they cut 
you a check in a few business days or even deposit the amount into your checking 
account?

I understand that one loses out on the benefits the money would have earned but no 
biggie - or is it?

what else to be aware of? if I fund a Roth IRA today with 2500, I can request a 
withdrawal any time for up to that amount?
