Update: my home loan is locked in at 2.875%. I decided to take enough out of my 401k (penalty free due to COVID) to put 20% down on the house AND pay off my truck.

I feel like the opportunity to pull from my 401k penalty free was too good to pass up. Good decision or no?

Jesus that would have been the last thing I would have done. Did you compute what the future value of that money would be in 20-30 years? I would imagine it’s in the six figure range. You’re literally robbing from your future self.
