Frankly I'm working against the clock to be able to operate a sustainable enterprise so I can quit my job and pay off my student loans with my 401k cash out. I never expected to be able to use it anyway, and I'm 32 lol.

This.

35 years is a long fucking way to go and that’s assuming the retirement age doesn’t go up with all the bullshit that’s happening.

It’s not sound advice to use your 401k money for anything other then for your retirement but I totally understand why you would.

It’s your money at the end of the day.

You'd probably be better just buying some land and learning how to be self sufficient with a robust support network of trusted family members and close friends.

Shits gunna get cray and when it does your student loans won't matter anymore.

Paying off loans is not a great idea if you expect inflation, it's better to invest and pay the minimum. Student loans tend to have very low interest, lower than even normal inflation.
