Question:
Dear Steve,
Single 60 year old woman with parent loans of $60000- 8.5%- since getting divorced have been unable to pay – loans in deferment
Does it make sense to take money out of my retirement funds ($80000) to pay off the loans at this point? I am unable to save for retirement now but I don’t see any other way to pay these loans.
Cindy
Answer:
Dear Cindy,
It does not make sense. See The Best Way to Lower Parent PLUS Loan Payments and leave your retirement for retirement.
Sincerly,
Steve
