This may seem obvious, but the reason you dont touch the retirement money early is because you get penalized harshly if you withdraw it before you retire.

I think there are certain exceptions for a Traditional IRA or 401(k) like for medical expenses or a first time house payment or something like that.

I also think, as someone mentioned, you can withdraw any principal from a Roth IRA without penalty at any time. You just can't touch your gains though without severe penalty.
