Love your articles. After my hubby lost his job twice in five years, he found a part-time job and took his
SS. I took mine as well even though it was earlier than I planned. Then hubby got a windfall job that paid very well and I used that money to pay off his car, a medical bill, Christmas, and funded his IRA. Now the windfall job has gone away. I'm struggling because I wanted to pay off my car by the end of the year. It's hard to let go of that dream. I"m over a year ahead in payments plus I was paying ahead on the mortgage too. But unexpected expenses have kept me from doing that and saving money. so I guess I"m reading in your content that I should save the money instead of paying ahead on the car. It's hard to let go of my goal but I guess you are right! I can't get equity out of a car in an emergency! Thanks for your insight.
