I am moving to New Zealand permanently in 2019. I currently have a traditional ira with about $7000 in it, but I am not sure what I should do with it when I move.

Since I won't be able to contribute to the ira with my New Zealand income, it doesn't make sense to me to keep the the ira around. If I did take the money out, I would put it in an investment account. I know there is a fee for early withdrawal, but I figure my account doesn't have that much money to make a huge dent with the fees! Please let me know what you think!
