9/2/2008: Using Nest Eggs Before Retirement (The Washington Post; free registration required)
Excerpt: "Hard economic times are driving some people to take actions that could jeopardize their futures. With home equity lines of credit and other types of loans harder to get, employees are increasingly raiding their retirement plans to take care of immediate needs such as paying down debt and medical bills, staving off foreclosure, or simply covering higher food and fuel prices."
