I would do it, but please inform your employers first. There are some employers that will not allow you to remove any money until you are fifty-nine and one half years old. If they do allow it, there will most likely be a steep fee to pay.

No. You won't be able to use it for bills without having to pay 20% in taxes. Usually the 20% in taxes is taken out before you get your money.
