This is a question I have heard discussed quite frequently… especially recently. I’ve heard it from both family members and co-workers.

It’s a good question and one I love to hear. Often times I believe the people have reached the wrong conclusion, but the important thing is that they are thinking about their financial situation.

If you do the wrong thing but had the right intention, I couldn’t give you more credit. In the end, we can educate you to make the right decision for the right reasons.
