Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I have a HUGE dental bill coming up. 5k. Ouch. Do I (1) stretch out paying 1/2 of grandson's student loans, (2) take it from IRA, or (3) skip a cruise?
1- he owes 16k (yep, finally admitted what he owes). His share of rent is $600 & he'll make only $25 hr on graduation. No matter what I'm starting his ROTH
(2)- I'm turning 69 (ouch ..... been FIREd since 2004 and this'll be the 2nd time I've withdrawn funds from IRA) Taking SSA next year
(3)- I want to travel b4 cruising means sitting in a chair watching the world go by. I tend to do 4 international & 1 domestic trip a year so skipping 1 shouldn't kill me
WWYD?
I have no debt. I've never had debt after recovering from my son's death. It was one of the things the psychiatrist recommended -- limit stress in all its forms (and yes, debt is stressful)
