<prompt> Human: Long story short, mom bought a new house and was planning to withdraw her 401k to do some improvements to it. She needs to do this in the next 2 weeks. Is she better off pulling it now, or riding out the market for the 2 weeks first?Edit: I should add that she is almost 70 and comfortable between her pension and social security. Shes disabled and the home need improvements for her to live in it without assistance. The cost of the work exceeds the few thousand she has in the bank and so she wants to use some of her 401k instead of gaining more debt to pay for them.  <response>: Unless the home improvements are a dire need, now is not the time to get a loan on her 401k.
