Personally I’d only pull from a 401k if it’s a dire emergency. The market will eventually recover and that money is really meant to sit there.
Your call though if you really want the house and you think you can make more off of it then go for it. It’s all about what you want to prioritize financially.
I’m not sure if pulling contributions tax free apply here like they do with IRAs either so just be wary with that.
Oh you’re right about that, the 10% penalty. I also have 12k contributed to a Roth IRA so I could pull that without penalty. Maybe I would consider that instead
Right now I have ~$20k in savings for a down payment and my budget is under $350k. SO would be moving in with me so I’d be able to save money after buying too.
I would absolutely use the money for the down payment. Rather put it to good use now than hope it will do you any good in retirement...nobody can predict what the future will look like and that's not a large amount to feel guilty about honestly. It's sound very reasonable.
