Does it make sense to borrow from retirement savings to pay off current debts?Chicago Tribune financial columnist Gail Marks-Jarvis points out that “under federal law, people are allowed to borrow from their 401(k), but the intent is to let you borrow only for the short term. You are expected to pay the money back, and you are given no more than five years to do it. If you lose your job, you have to pay it back quickly, usually within 90 days.“If you fail to pay the money back on time, you have to pay taxes on everything you owe. In addition, there will be a 10 percent penalty.

Gorman, president of the Global Private Client Group.

The age of 65 used to be the common number at which people retired, but times have changed and even the Social Security Administration (SSA) has decided to increase the age at which full retirement benefits are available. With the shift from defined-benefit plans to defined-contribution plans, many savings programs not producing projected returns. This means that many individuals may not only need to postpone the date at which they start to receive social security and other retirement benefits, but they may also have to live a retirement that is quite different from the one they envisioned.

I was once a full-service broker, and I can tell you that the big-name brokerages do little to teach their "advisors" how to give good advice. Most of the training is about how to make a sale.
