Similar situation.. I was in a unique position where I could cash out or roll over my retirement plan to our new company's owners but my family's expenses have been stacking so much that I gave up my retirement fund to try and pay off my house. It wasn't enough thanks to all the taxes and penalties. Close, but not enough. 10+ years in an engineering dept. too. Not even a nice house. Our society is not thriving yet. Im glad to see all the good changes but I've yet to benefit.
A shame. My mother had many different jobs, but was a bank teller in 63 when she bought a home 50 bucks for 12 years and she eared 75 a week bring home. A single woman in the 60's...
If you work full time you should be able to live a decent life.
Engineering is a high skilled field and you shouldn't be in that situation.
