YOu can either take money out of your 401k or borrow against it for a downpayment on a house, ita. It's one of the allowable things that isn't taxed all to hell and gone. I think.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Well, zombies are technically reanimated flesh. I think they don't breathe. So, OK for the moon.
The real question is, how did they get there?? Did zombies on earth organize a colonizing mission?? Weren't there enough edible brains on this planet?
Or maybe we imported them to fight the teeming Martian invaders in their forward attack base.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

D'oh! I should have asked, but I didn't even know it was a question.

The zombifying agent is space bacteria, which thrive in the low-grav, no-air lunar environment. First space casualty, and bam!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Whether or not you can borrow against a 401k plan depends on the rules of the particular 401k plan. Or at least that's the way it is here.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
DX has described this process to me -- borrowing from your own 401K. And because you're paying yourself back with interest, you're only benefitting yourself. Of course, it may take a while to get your 401K high enough to make it worthwhile borrowing from it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I guess I need to admit that there's no point saving for a house right now. But what about when the bubble bursts? I could have a downpayment ...
Yes. If you can stand to live in it while waiting for the market to go back up, now is a good time to start saving for the bubble burst. This is my plan, anyway.

That's what I was thinking. See, we don't know if someone dying on the moon will turn into a zombie. So before we do anything else, we really should send someone to the moon and kill them.
Maybe Carrot Top?

it may take a while to get your 401K high enough to make it worthwhile borrowing from it.
It may also take a while for housing here to be remotely affordable, so that's not a big issue for me in West LA.
I need to check our rules.
This is my plan, anyway.
Are you saving post tax, or pre?
Maybe Carrot Top?

What, is he already a zombie?
