People are under the impression they can take their accounts, and just pay the penalty and taxes. Not so, Usually... For most retirement plans, you MUST either:
Sever employment, Reach retirement age, or be permanently disabled in order to close the account. And taxes and fees will still apply if under 59 1/2.
Some plans allow you to take a loan against it, but plans vary so check yours. Hardship withdrawals are allowed for the following events:
To pay for a down payment on your first home.
To avoid eviction from your residence.
Pay for your education.
Pay medical costs not covered by insurance.
Good luck
