Dear Dave, My husband and I are close to having our home paid off and being completely debt-free. Can we dip into our emergency fund to pay off the house? Enid Dear Enid, I’m not sure I’d recommend doing this.

Update from Senator Tom Brewer

43rd District - 3-26-2021 I recently learned of a site in western Nebraska where the remains of obsolete wind turbines are being temporarily stored. This concerned me very much because I do not want any new landfill created in Nebraska for the disposal of wind turbine blades.

Greetings. We hope all is going well. The last week of March. Crazy to think that Easter is this Sunday. Don’t forget that we will be having our Easter egg hunt this Friday, April 2 at 2:00 p.m. MT for ages 0-6 years old. We hope to see everyone. The residents are so excited.

Dear Dave, My wife and I are having a financial disagreement. I would like to go ahead and fully fund our Roth IRAs, even though we have about $10,000 in car loan debt. She, on the other hand, thinks we should pay off the debt first. We can probably have either one completed by the end of the year.

Greetings to all! We hope everyone has had a great week! It’s crazy to think that one year ago everything changed and turned our lives upside down. And maybe it didn’t turn everyone’s lives upside down, but it sure did change a lot for us up here.

Dear Dave, Why do you seem to put so much emphasis on teaching young children about money? Isn’t there time for that later when they’re older?
