Borrowing from your employer retirement plan

Understand the impact of taking a loan from your employer sponsored retirement account. Borrowing from your savings may provide solutions in the near term but could negatively impact investment growth and cost you in loan fees. In most cases, if you leave your employer prior to paying off the loan, your loan will default and cause a taxable event.
