re: Pulling out of your 401k early.

Within the 401K there should be some very conservative choices like a money market fund or US treasury fund. He should check into his choices before he pulls the money out.

I've yet to see or have a 401K where there wasn't a MM option of some sort. But the fact that this young person is willing to cash out and take a penalty hit because he's irrationally scared (an emotional investor), that says to me that he's probably doomed to financial failure anyway.
