re: IRA early withdraw to fund another. (Update)

I'd leave the IRA alone, and try to get by with a credit card for the next three months (maybe a new card with a low teaser rate). Since he is self employed, maybe take extra salary if possible, and float the rest on his business account.
I find it curious that this advisor has him in an IRA, but didn't recommend a 3-6 month emergency fund. Of course, they don't make commission on an emergency fund. For someone who is self employed in an industry that sounds like it fluctuates significantly, I'd recommend a 6 month (of expenses) emergency fund.

Based on the original scenario, this wouldn't work. The couple doesn't have the cash to increase the contributions so presumably, they would be unable to pay off the card.

If he could pull this off this is probably a better idea than using the IRA.
