College funds should be going debt-free, even if we spend the extra $100,000 on our retirement house.

The plan works.

My husband was actually our county fire marshal.

And I work for the Department of Veterans Affairs, so I kind of tune out a little bit sometimes when you talk bad about us.

Yeah, he worked for local government for 40 years.

I have worked for federal government will be 28 years.

And we are.

Just barely, but we got there.

Hi, thank you so much for taking my call.

I recently received a $200,000 settlement check, and we are trying to decide what is the best use of the fund.

If it would be better to pay one of our loans off on our vacation rental home, or if it's better to invest it or what you would recommend.

I was a CFO of an organization, and I discovered a lot of fraud and embezzlement, and through the process, I received the check.

Wow.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay.

It's not okay.

It was a tough few years.

We have a comfortable amount of savings in our bank account, and we have no debt except for our second home, which we use for a vacation home or a rental home when we're not there.

So we have no debt.
