You will be stung for taxes and penalties now, plus you will lose the tax-deferred returns you could have made. If you have 30 years to retirement, and assuming 8% annual growth, taking out $10,000 now means $109,000 less when you retire. Retirement funds are protected in bankruptcy court, so they should never be used to pay your credit card debt, which is wiped clean if you go bankrupt.

High fuel costs, endless hours spent commuting, a long muted economic recovery and decreasing state and local tax revenues will all combine to make "suburbia" the new 21st century American slum. The housing stock built in the last 15+ years is particle board and drywall junk requiring high maintenance and excessive costly utility use for livability. The decline in housing values will limit township civic amenities and cripple the primary and secondary school systems. Environmentalism will frustrate the introduction of small scale industry and associated jobs. Those who can, the creative, the highly skilled, the mobile, the high wage earners will all migrate elsewhere. The neighborhoods will not stabilize or return to viability.

This isn't even close to over. Walk though a neighborhood heavily built in 2005/2006 and you will see how bad it has gotten. Best to walk away now and start the credit report so when the market finally bottoms out in 3-4 years you are ready to buy at fair market value. We will probably have another bubble sometime a few years after that. Completely agree. This isn’t even close to over.
