 TITLE: What Is the Rule of 55? CONTENT: The Bottom Line\n---------------\nIn some cases, it might make sense to take advantage of the Rule of 55 and withdraw money from your 401(k) or 403(b) before age 59½. But it's generally recommended to let your money grow in your retirement accounts as long as you can.\nThere are many factors to consider before withdrawing from your 401(k) early, including taxes, life expectancy, savings and investment accounts, and more. If you're thinking of using the Rule of 55, consult with a financial professional to see if it's indeed the best option for you. END
