For those ...This is related, although not directly. For those who would ever consider taking a loan out of their retirement account: that's like going into the future and robbing yourself at gunpoint and then traveling back to the present time to spend the money. Just heard that recently and it keeps popping back up in mind. :)Jessica Hackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18008633291375799535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4971083762875016745.post-24977999071912151282013-02-04T12:01:23.475-05:002013-02-04T12:01:23.475-05:00Over 20 years ago, we "did without" to p...Over 20 years ago, we "did without" to put money in IRA for my husband and for me as home-mom, all while paying child support, college tuition, and preschool. We didn't think Social Security would still be paying-out when we retired!<br /><br />Now, just turning 70 1/2, he must withdraw the required minimum amount annually from now on (and pay taxes on it). He deferred his Social Security checks until age 70, so those are coming in now. And he's still enjoying his work!<br /><br />Would having a few more dinners out back then have been worth it? No way! Who can predict what your health or earning power will be in later years? Protect your health through good habits now and save what you can now for the future - better to have lots of both in reserve...Katy Manck, MLShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06271516779182899993noreply@blogger.com
