Why you should not borrow from your retirement fund...

This is just a quick entry about using retirement money to pay back debt. If you read some of my other blog entries, you may find where I talk about keeping your retirement money for retirement. Under bankruptcy protection in Pennsylvania, you can usually protect 100% of your retirement accounts.

This LSS Financial Counseling Blog article;  4 Big Reasons Not to Borrow From Your Retirement Fund, gives you a couple additional reasons not to use your retirement fund. The article lays out four reasons:

- You’re stealing from your future self

- You’ll have less options

- It’s not free money

- There are risks

The article explains each reason. It talks about other options instead of bankruptcy. But that is ok because financial problems do not have a one-size fits all solutions. Check out the article if this topic interests you.
