Money taken from my retirement plan was needed to live on and pay bills due to a work place accident.

I have been on workers comp since the accident, but that wasn't enough.  Before the accident, my job required overtime on a regular basis which helped to pay bills.  I had to drop my Aflac insurance, since I couldn't afford the premiums anymore.
