And even then I would work at McDonalds or bag groceries before I would cash in the 401k.
This.
pretty much this, although if I can't find a job in 6 months the economy is in really terrible shape. Unemployment in my industry is sub 5%, probably closer to 3%.
And honestly if you are only using your 401k for savings, you are going have a bad time.

I'll also note that probably most people in this situation don't have nearly enough saved to start with even if they didn't raid the account.
