Default Re: My week of planning...

Well sat down after the wife got home and here is the solution we could both agree on. As soon as her 401k info becomes available here is our plan:

Drop wifes 20% investing to 10% for 4 months use other 10% for loan

After the first of the year make a large payment of $2k or more if I have it and keep $500 for EF

Use all extra monies I receive towards loan

I've contacted my banker about loan rates and getting another personal loan to pay this one off IF not I can talk to CitiFinancial where I have the loan and they said I should qualify for their Premier status and get a much lower rate.

Any other advice? I know some will say ditch the retirement all together till the loan is paid but I think I can have it paid off by mid year with this approach.

Craig
