According to the ABC News in "Good Morning America" there is a new way to get a loan from your retirement savings or 401(k). Now, before you will rush to apply for this new debit card to withdraw cash from your Savings, consider the negative effects of withdrawing your own Retirement at early time. Think of the fees or penalties and also your future savings. But since the economy is struggling today then you might want to check out on how to get your 401K Debit Card. Here's how.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Of course, you need to be employed and earned your income from your employer who offered the 401K savings plan. Make it sure also that you can afford to pay off the Loan back to avoid too much fees and other charges in your personal loan.

  2. Step 2

    Now negotiate your Employer of how much you can afford to Borrow from your 401(k). If your company approved your loan application against your savings then start applying for the debit card that you can use to withdraw your cash. You can select the option "Reserve-Plus Loan Program" in your company's offered Plan.

  3. Step 3

    You will then head to the website called reserveplus dot com. Read everything that you want to know about this new debit card in withdrawing your money or retirement savings plan. You are actually applying the program from your own Employer or Company and then if you are approved then your will get the "ReservePlus Loan Card" in which you can use get cash advance or purchases.

  4. Step 4

    You can then track your shopping activities online by creating your Reserve Plus account at their official site Reserve Plus dot com. This is not a good way to save money but if you need cash due to the bad economy then why not try it and see if it will bring some good news to your family.

on 1/30/2009 What a horrible idea. Seriously. This could bankrupt people and get them in the habit of using their 401K like a credit card. It's also incredibly expensive and only quasi-legal in a lot of cases.
