Partial Early Withdrawl – Why I Chose This Route
As I mentioned from my January wrap up, I had some unexpected expenses last month and I didn’t have a way to cover them without robbing Peter to pay Paul. In this instance Peter was either B or my mom and Paul was the dentist and the credit card company. In the bigger scheme of things…
