401k Withdrawal for a house?

With house prices as low as they're going to get in this area, and low interest rates and an $8000 tax credit, I think that's a good choice. Historically, real estate always recovers, as does the market. When you make more money(and I know YOU will), you can make up contributions to your 401K/retirement plan. With a 30 year conventional loan, everything should time out about right. All this is just my opinion, of course. Good luck, JR.
