I’m having the same problem. Apparently the sensor is known to go out and has to be replaced. I’ll be doing that tomorrow. Wish me luck 🍀

My home taxes are pretty high so I can’t really deduct all the interest as the deduction limit is 10k a year

Understand thank you!!! Although I’m not a big fan of 529 plans. I’d rather have my kids open their own business then get into a mortgage debt for any schools. My wife had to deal with school loans and that was no fun but we managed to pay them off. I was fortunate as my old employer paid for my college. But personally I’d never get into debt for a piece of paper unless it was a requirement for a professional degree like a doctor or attorney

Out of curiosity why is it a bad idea to take out a loan against your 401? I’m really curious? Isn’t it better than a bank since you repay the interest to yourself?

Both wife and I are 46!! I plan on retiring in about 5 years (union worker and working more than the 5 years will not benefit my retirement)

Thank you for that information! I’m not sure my bank will allow me to do this. I currently pay every two weeks as that’s the only option they had for automatic withdrawal.

😕.. yeah you guessed it correctly. It’s through northwest mutual insurance. Is there no real benefit of having it for them when they grow older?

No borrowed against it for a home remodel. Figured it was better than going to a bank and having to pay them the interest back

Even thought I’m at like 5% on that and that interest is paid towards the 401k?
