Cashing out your 401(k) can impact your Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceedings. While retirement accounts are generally exempt from bankruptcy, cashing them out converts those funds into liquid assets, which could be subject to liquidation to pay creditors. Additionally, the cash withdrawal may increase your income or assets, potentially affecting your eligibility for bankruptcy or the amount you can discharge. It's advisable to consult with a bankruptcy attorney before making any decisions regarding your 401(k).
