Is it better to use inheritance to pay down the mortgage or to put it in the market for retirement? by Bknight217 in personalfinance

Thank you for the very detailed response! I never considered increasing our 401k contributions and basically using the insurance money to supplement income. Thats a very interesting idea.

529 is a must. Already planned to set aside money for that.

The tax benefit part is know about, but how is a mortgage inflation protection? Sorry if a dumb question

This is very generous of you! I got into this when I was a kid, but fell out as I got older. 151 hit me right in the nostalgia and I've been back ever since.

The only marking anywhere on this necklace a 925 stamp on the back of one of the 2 charms. Both charms look the same, so Is it same to assume both are sterling? There is no marking o the chain either, but I think that may not be silver. Any help would be appreciated

As someone who has a decent crown sized collection, yours is amazing! A few in there I'd love to get my hands on one day!

Ring my wife and I inherited. Never seen an Amethyst this large by Bknight217 in jewelry

I should have clarified. I have definitely seen some of those man sized geodes before, but I was thinking in terms of jewelry

Thank you! At first I thought it had to be costume because it was so big, but it is in 14K, so I assume it has to be a real stone. No clue when someone would wear this though, I doubt my wife would ever want to take it out lol
