i am in desperate need of cash between 3500-5000 and because i have horrible credit i can't qualify for anything. i've even tried doing a title car loan and i still can't get approved for that. so much for their advertisement of "will qualify you even if you have bad credit". anyway, i would like to cash out some money from my 401k, but my employer does not allow us to do this. what can i do to just get alittle bit of this cash to just get caught-up with these bills and relieve some of this stress i'm feeling. i'm afraid i will end up w/a stroke because of the financial stress i put myself into. now, i'm finding myself not being able to make my rent this month because i'm a $1000 short. god, help me. what can i do...i really, really, need this little bit of cash. does anybody out there have any solutions for me or know where i can borrow and get approved (of course a reputable finance company) even 3k to just get alittle bit of this stress out of my mind. help! thank you

If your employer does not allow an inservice withdrawal then you can't touch this money. Do they allow a loan? If so, that would be a better bet. But otherwise you have to look elsewhere.
