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 a little 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 a little 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.
