Spent your Economic Stimulus Check?
Credit cards maxed out?
Home Equity used up?
HELOC cancelled by the bank?
Overextended at the Payday Loan place?
Nothing to sell on E-Bay?
Never fear!! The 401K Debit Card is here!!
-----------------------------------------------------------
A growing number of companies now offer employees the option of being issued a debit card that taps a 401(k) loan. The card, called ReservePlus, allows workers to withdraw funds from their 401(k)s.
Here's how it works: After a company adopts the program, employees can transfer their approved loan line into a ReservePlus account online. Later, they receive a debit card that they can use to take out as much or as little as they need of the loan amount -- on average taking out 35% less than they applied for, says David Young, director of Reserve Solutions at The Reserve, the company offering the cards.
The loan begins only after the money is removed from the account. Instead of a payroll deduction, participants are billed directly, and then pay back the loan through the same mechanisms used to repay a credit card. Depending on the employer, some may also qualify for a revolving loan -- taking out and paying back money as they need it.
The card clearly has benefits for human-resource departments. The 401(k) debit-card program means that it no longer bears the administrative burden of creating amortizations schedules and collecting loan payments. And the program is free for them to adopt: employees pay for the programs administration through an initial sign up fee and interest on their loans.

(P.S. Baby Boomers: Ensure you retain enough in your retirement accounts to purchase a condo in Florida, we've built plenty of them for you.)
