I am unemployed but have about $10000 in a 401k  from my last employer whom I was laid off last year.I would like to take all this money out and stop any future activity on the account or at least take some cash out just to survive.They have told me I cant and have to wait 5 years to do anything .Any options how I can get some cash from this or do I have to wait out the years
