Roll the 401k into an IRA. If you cash it you'll lose half or more. Its not that much but its something. IIRC you can take loans against the IRA later if needed. I cashed out a small 401k once and wish I hadn't.

On the bright side, I know I have 30 days left to start looking, after that I know I will get at least 8 weeks severance pay, maybe more. I think I will get a cash out on my pension which wont be much since they just started that when cox took over. Not sure what to do about my 401k yet, dont know if I should roll it over into something or just cash it out as well. I dont have much in there, only been in it a year or so, probably have 3k in it, which is way down from what it was since all the crashes etc. Then if worse comes to worse, I still have cars and parts I can sell to raise cash, unless I get forclosed on or something, then Im screwed. Wont have anywhere to put all my crap so I will probably just have to dump it quick. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
