Should I borrow money from my 401k to start a business?

Asked by: 608 views

I would like to hear your thought on borrowing money from my 401k to start a business. According to my employer, the current interest rate is 9.25% and there is a $45 fee to process the $5,000 loan. Over the next 36 months, I have to pay back $160.76 per month, or $5,787.36 for the life of the loan. I will be paying myself interest so the only cost is $45. What do you think?

    Short and simple: Never borrow money from a tax advantaged account unless there is no other resort — it is an emergency. You borrow money that is growing tax free and pay it back with after tax dollars.
