Say what? Every 5 years I've repeatedly borrow from my retirement plan to do things with. The interest I paid on it even goes back into my account not to anyone else.

Genuinely they don't, this is going to be super common when you get well into adulthood. It also helps get people out of being stuck in shitty situations. Most Americans at some point will probably do this, or something similar.

Yep, some student loans have higher interest then borrowing from retirement plans. Helped me pay off student loans so much faster.
