Private companies, however, can write their own rules for investment funds and one of the rules I signed onto included no premature withdrawal of funds. The exceptions are primary home purchase and education, but only as a loan which would be repaid through paycheck deduction.<BR/><BR/>Had it been allowed, I would have had in cash (after gov't took 20%) what I have in the 401k now.<BR/><BR/>I stop the blood loss by reducing my contribution to zero for the time being.Indigo Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17906787350123925867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12392119.post-16958782933498525702009-03-07T15:13:00.000-08:002009-03-07T15:13:00.000-08:00>>wouldn't let me have my money>>?...>>wouldn't let me have my money>><BR/><BR/>?????<BR/><BR/>I don't think that's legal.

Obama ripped it off with better marketing.<BR/><BR/>I lost 20% on my 401k. It goes up and down within the same $1000 range. I had gone to my company's fund manager to remove all my money from the 401k in June, two weeks before the mortgage market crashed. I told him what was about to happen and he said the markets were in great shape, and wouldn't let me have my money; he should know, he said, because he's an accountant. Boy, was he wrong.Indigo Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17906787350123925867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12392119.post-13032663376011698682009-03-07T14:28:00.000-08:002009-03-07T14:28:00.000-08:00Dang, Indigo!

It may as well have been written this morning!<BR/><BR/>Yep, people have hollered about hope and change forever, and most of the time the change didn't result in hope, all it resulted in was chaos, which we are seeing as I write this. <BR/><BR/>How's your 401K doing?
