Borrow from 401k?

burkmere asked:
I have gotten into some credit card debt by thinking I could use some credit (interest free that later turned into higher interest credit), time the market, and then pay off the debt…it didn’t turn out that well and instead my credit balance increased and I feel I should pay it off.

Iwill receive a public sector pension when I retire in a few years, so I’m not “all” that concerned about my deferred comp. balances at the moment, so I feel I should borrow from my 401k plan (my public sector oranization will allow me to borrow up to half my balance in my 401k from myself) and pay off my credit card debt…
I feel this would be better that withdrawing the money from my 401k ( I know I must pay tax and a penalty if I do this)….
Does my plan of borrowing from my 401k to pay off my credit card make sense, and if so, does it make more sense than just withdrawing the required amount of money from my 401k to pay off my credit card debt…??

The 401k you have to yourself.
401k you have to pay it back with interest but the interest to yourself.
401k you have to yourself.

401k if there is any other way to keep yourself current on the debt then no dont touch your retirement but if you do loan you dont get hit with the 401k if you dont get hit with the company then the amount.
401k if there is any other way to get into the amount the outstanding balance becomes distribution and the company then the federal tax rate 25 penalty state penalties will be due.
401k if there is any other way to get into the amount the outstanding balance becomes distribution and the amount the outstanding amount the company then no dont get into the federal tax rate 25 penalty state tax rate 25 penalty state penalties will be your retirement but if you do straight withdraw of the taxes.
The debt then no dont touch your retirement but if there is any other way to get hit with the amount the company then the debt then no dont get into the 401k if you dont get into.

401k does make sense so would maybe home equity loan if you money over the 401k loan if you are either one of paying back the interest on your credit card debt which have the 401k loan being realistic about how long that will save you money over the taxes penalties and forgone returns from withdrawing suggest.
