I worked for 6 months in 2012 and if I pulled money out of my IRA now it would just add to my income and really increase my tax burden. My income will be way down in 2013 so my tax burden will be much lower. Fortunately we followed Dave Ramsey's plan and we have no debt except the house and we just refinanced that again to a very low interest rate. For those of you who are not as old as some of us please do yourself a favor and pay down your debts. Sell stuff, get an extra job, live within your means. Fortunately I am married to someone whe kicked my ass the last few years and got me to see the light.
Do you know what got me to do what you are suggesting? Those damned shows on A&E about hoarders.
Their excuses and logic for keeping shit hit way too close to home... so I started to unload things.
When we moved in Oct 2010, it took one 24' truck and three loads in a 10' truck.
the last time we move, Aug 2011, it took 2 loads from a 24' truck, but this time, we were moving bastet44's office, too!
I think that from Oct 2010 to Aug 2011 that I got rid of the equivelant of one 10' box truck worth of crap.
