So you want to withdraw your $8642.00 from your 403B plan? If that's the same as a 401K, you will lose 10% penalties if you are under 59-1/2 years of age so that's $864.20 off the top. Then you will also have to pay the IRS a withholding of 20% which will be adjusted at tax time. 30% of $8642.00 is $2592.60 so you'll end up with $6049.40. You may end up paying more than 20% on that money when combined with your income. You won't have a dime at retirement. Make sure that you truly need that money more now than you will in your future. That $6,000 will help with expenses for a short time but you are better off concentrating on a new job and leaving that money where it is or transferring to another plan. Are you willing to give up more than $2500 to the government so you can quit your job??? I've done it. Now I have nothing for retirement in 15 years where I could have built up some interest. It's your decision but think twice before you do it.

Would you take out a credit card with a 30% interest rate???

If you are cashing out full tax rates will apply. So if possible only take out what you need, and transfer the rest into an IRA
