Borrow from 401k to pay off
Took a 35k loan to consolidate cc debt. In jan 2026.
9.26 apr
$3,506.21 of $35,000.00 paid toward principal
I have no assets to sell.
Monthly payment is $1117.28
Im 30 if it matters. So ill be paying into my 401k for like 25 more years at least i assume.
I have 42k in a 401k and i have 24k in a 401k from a former employer i havent rolled over yet.
I googled it and i just see too many yes and no answers. Seems like individual situation influences the answer so im asking for my own situation.
Should i take a loan against my 401k to pay off the personal loan? I can max out my 401k contributions if i dont have that 1k monthly payment.
Upstart says i have 32 payments left until paid off.
