Dear Dave,

I’m 19 years old, and I just got kicked out of the house after wrecking my dad’s truck. I’ve got a job making $12 an hour working about 40 hours a week, and I’m currently living with a friend at his apartment. I have a goal of going to college, and I’d like to get out of my friend’s place as soon as possible. Do you have any advice some someone just starting out?

Dear Brandon,

Dear Dave,

My wife and I make $100,000 a year combined, and we have about $12,000 in credit card debt. We also owe another $80,000 in student loans, and our kids’ private school education costs $1,000 a month. Is it okay for me to take a loan against my 401(k), which is invested in mutual funds, to clean up the credit card bills?

Stephen

Dear Stephen,

I wouldn’t do that. If your 401(k) is invested in good mutual funds, it’s likely you’ll miss out on some pretty good rates of return. But that’s not the biggest reason this is a bad idea.

Your child should be coming home this week with info regarding the PTA Reflections Contest.  The theme this year is, “What Is Your Story???”  Please take some time to read the flier and consider any ways that your child can share his/her talent.  This is a great opportunity for youth to be noticed for the extra effort they put into developing talents in literature, musical composition, photography, visual arts, dance choreography, and film production.  Get creative!  Entries are due on October 19th (the day before fall break).  Contact Amanda Dabb
