Many people believe borrowing from their 401(k) account is a smart idea because the interest rate is generally lower than a commercial loan. While that might be true, it doesn’t help with the ultimate goal of long-term investing.
Here are some of the reasons why borrowing from a 401(k) isn’t the best choice:
Before an investor borrows from their 401(k), they should think it through completely.
Use a different way to finance the loan if possible. Or, maybe they need to reevaluate their lifestyle and why they need the money in the first place.
Borrowing from a retirement account could have significant long term consequences.
