My husband and I are still pretty young (mid 20's) but we took money out of our retirement to get us out of a jam and realized that it probably was a bad idea when it was next to impossible to replace it. We made a decision to take a larger than normal portion from his paycheck to replenish and obtain his company 401K match. In the long run, we feel that this decision will be worth it for the sacrifices we are making now. Great Advice.

Our family has been doing a ton of deal-hunting. My wife is busy clipping coupons and doing what she can to reduce our spending as much as possible. I'm still putting money into my 401k (NEVER stop contributing!), and pushing to put every extra penny on our existing debts. Great points. Our family has been doing a ton of deal-hunting.
