      Lmao the admission that this economic system is so destroyed that we’re now being encouraged to mortgage the futures we were promised with 401ks to pay for things now. Jfc.

    2. But will I be able to wager my home equity on crypto or world cup first half over/unders?

    3. I know I’m making minimum wage for my 60 years of life, can I get a cash advance of that right now? 😂😉

      Yo can I get my own private jet too? I’ll pay it back in 1K years, I promise

    4. Not really a solution to anything since those that need it most are unlikely to have significant savings in 401k. The economy at this point really works only for the top 10%

      You can already take out a loan from 401k for “first time homebuyer” (which means 1st time in last 5 years IIRC) without penalty as long as you pay it back.

    6. So people with a 50 year mortgage and no retirement savings. Nobody can afford to retire, jobs will stagnate as older workers won’t leave unless laid off so I guess that’s how they expect to cover the low wage jobs formerly covered by undocumented workers. Ok I see the big picture now.

    7. What’s the problem? I’m allowed utilize my IRA for this type of investment. Seems people are just looking for reason to be unhappy

      There’s a niche amount of high-income young earners who struggle with deciding between putting their savings in mega-backdoor Roth 401K contributions OR waiting for a down payment on a house. Now they won’t have to worry and can do either, hooray!

    9. Quick! How can we shovel lots of other people’s money into the economy and make the GDP line go up?

      No one has mentioned his suggestion to “take 10% equity of your home and put it in the 401k”, and that somehow grows in value as your home increases in value, making you even more money than the hit you took.. What?

      this was already allowed with the stipulation that you had to be a first time homebuyer. now sounds like it doesn’t have to be your first home

    12. All this crazyness, $200B mortgage buy, this nonsense, all just to keep the housing bubble rolling past the election because Trump doesn’t want to get impeached if Democrats win the House.

    13. So when you’re ready to retire all you have to do is sell your house. Cool. So more old people becoming homeless.

    14. You are already allowed to borrow from your 401k for a down payment on your house. I did it 10 years ago

      There ya go, take all your retirement money and blow it on a down payment to make sure you can’t retire *AND* never pay the house off in your lifetime anyway

    16. Personally I was hoping to open a 401Trump. You put post-tax dollars in, taxed when it comes out, along with a 10% penalty going directly to the Trump reelection campaign.
