Should I use my 401k to payoff my mortgage?
[info]ameastamherst

I would like to use my 401k to payoff my mortgage. I'm willing to take the tax penalty just to get out of debt and not worry about a mortgage payment that as of today still has about 25 years remaining on it. I feel its less stress for me to save and invest money for the next 20 years (retirement age for me) as opposed to making my mortgage payment. I realize the tax penalty is steep, but I also feel its worth it since I don't want to continue working at this pace just to payoff my mortgage and invest what I can in my 401k.

My health is declining to the point where I struggle to continue working 40-50 hour workweeks at my job. Other than our mortgage and a small car loan of about $10k, we have zero debt.

Is my strategy to cash in my 401k early worth the risk? I'm also concerned about the future of the economy and mainly my health.

Should I use my 401k to payoff my mortgage?

Thanks in advance!


If you are thinking about a reverse mortgage option, it is important to make a research not only into advantages of it, but also reverse mortgage pitfalls.

After WWII images of warfare were no longer testements to man 's inhumaneness, but grounds that could be applied against the overcomed. U.S.A. would be slow to acquire this lesson. Excessively many images from Annam were transmitted place. Today, images are guarded, distant, even scarce. It appears that as our ability to seizure and transmit imaging turns increasingly easier the sum of footage we see decreses. Is info being inhibit? Are we simply getting pall?

Orchid Tree Seedpod In due season, this pod will maturate then the seeds will split forth and self-germinate in the grunge below. It is my hope to get one of the seedlings from the land before the proprietor tweak them all upwardly.


Orchid flower and seedpod Here is a maturating pod right near a flower. The blooming season is only somely over, as there were simply a couple of flowers left on the tree. I was surprised that there were but a couple of pods ( mayhap mortal got there before me and took the ripe ones? ), but I was able to pick two for our competition victors, Artemis and Cammy.
