@debtfreegonnabe: 🛑 HELL NAH!⁣ ⁣ And I don’t care what you may have heard from anybody else!⁣ ⁣ Women already earn less than men, pay more than men for basic shit, and as a result are less likely to save or enough for retirement.⁣ ⁣ And whether you “borrow from yourself” by taking out a loan or do an early withdrawal from your retirement savings, you’re doing more damage to your future self than you realize.⁣ ⁣ Here are a few reasons why taking money out of your retirement to payoff debt is a bad idea:⁣ ⁣ ❌ 𝐏𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐚𝐱𝐞𝐬: Withdrawing funds from retirement accounts before reaching the age of 59½ typically incurs heavy penalties and taxes. This means you lose a significant portion of your savings to these fees.⁣ ⁣ ❌ 𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭: Retirement accounts benefit from compound interest OVER TIME. When you withdraw funds, you not only lose the amount taken out but also the future growth that money would have generated. This can significantly impact the total amount you will have at retirement.⁣ ⁣ ❌ 𝐎𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐂𝐨𝐬𝐭: The money you withdraw from your retirement account could have been invested and grown over time. By using it to pay off debt, you miss out on potential investment gains.⁣ ⁣ ❌ 𝐑𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥: Using retirement savings for current debts can lead to a shortfall in retirement funds. This might mean having to work longer than planned or living with reduced financial security in retirement.⁣ ⁣ ❌ 𝐒𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭: It can be tempting to view your retirement fund as an accessible source of cash. This mindset can lead to repeated withdrawals, jeopardizing long-term financial security.⁣ ⁣ ❌ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐞𝐬: Using retirement savings to pay off debt doesn’t address the underlying issues that led to the debt. Without changing spending habits, building healthy financial habits, or financial planning, there’s a risk of falling back into debt.⁣ ⁣ Follow @debtfreegonnabe for tips to help you tackle your debt without sacrificing fun…or your retirement! #moneytok #personalfinance #debtfreecommunity #financetiktok #moneycoach #debtfreegonnabe #retirement #debthelp
