God, so glad I'm not a dipshit to do that with a retirement account.


It's risk/reward given my current opportunity. Also, it's a very small fraction of my overall balance.

I wouldn't call anyone a "dipshit" until you've walked a mile in their shoes or experienced their current situation. Keep that shite on the OT.

It could potentially be a good move, just go into it understanding everything that will or potentially happen.

So plans have a rule where you are not allowed to make contributions until a loan is paid back.

Also, if your employment situation is shaky it might not be smart. The worse thing that can happen is you get terminated and the IRS hammers you.

Also keep in mind that you are essentially paying taxes on the money twice...once when you pay it back with after tax dollars and again after you retire.

Just make sure you have enough info to make an objective decision.
