Rachel Hartman, U.S. News & World Report IF YOU'RE SHORT ON funds and looking for resources to get through an emergency situation, you may have considered taking money out of your 401(k) plan. There are several specific circumstances when current employees can take 401(k) withdrawals to cover sudden costs. Retirement accounts are typically set up to allow withdrawals starting at age 59 1/2, and individuals who take distributions before that age can usually expect to pay a 10% penalty and income tax on the amount withdrawn.

Walter Block, RealClearMarkets Binyamin Appelbaum published “50 years of blaming Milton Friedman. Here’s Another Idea” in the New York Times of September 18, 2020.
