Cashing out a Roth 401k
I have been told all my life in saving into my 401k that you need to save the maximum that you can. So for many, many years I have been saving the absolute maximum allowed by the government every year into the company sponsored Roth 401k with the employer matches.
All that money just sitting there; I feel as though I could do a lot more with it in real estate. Especially when I see myself losing $15k in one year. But taking any out, that would be going against everything I've been preached to over many years, so that's why I hesitate.
Anyone else feel that way? It's like after the zombie apocalypse, feeling bad for taking stuff from a grocery store without paying for it.
If you've been in that situation, what have you done?
