Is it even possible that I terminate my 457b plan while still working (I am only 52 yrs old and want to keep working at my current job) and collect the money that i have already contributed to my account and just pay the normal 10% penalty (plus taxes) that I would incur as if i was to terminate a regular 401 type of plan and put my money somewhere else? Not really pleased with having my money in the 457b. Thanks!
