THIS.

Like someone said earlier, trust is earned and it certainly takes longer than 2 teenage years to earn it. Some of you think strict parenting isn't a good idea? I've seen too many parents befriend their children which ends in disaster and an adulthood of underachieving. Ultimately, parent how you see fit. Who cares what other parents are doing and who knows if the 14 year old isn't just saying that shite to make you feel bad? Kids are sneaky...

Our land loan loan through Iberville Bank was 5.25% for 15 years, 10% down.

We are in the beginning of the building process as well, ascension parish. Took about 2-3 weeks for bids to come back for us.

We recently traded in a Jeep Wrangler and bought a 2015 Highlander XLE, we plan on keeping for 6-8 years. Credit scores are 760 and 780. Shop around for rates, credit unions had the lowest. We scored 1.94%. Our note is $440/month.

After a month, we absolutely love the highlander. The Toyota dealerships around Baton Rouge were all willing to deal via Internet. We got them down through emails to the price we wanted, walked in and signed papers.

Ok thanks, that's something else I didn't know.

Combined about 120k. She's in grad school, so she's only working part time. Graduates in 1 year, her salary will double. House we are building is one we can afford with our current salaries.

Switching jobs... I have a total of a little over $24,000 in employer retirement plan. $10,000 is my contributions and $14,000 from them. We purchased land to build our forever home about 6 months ago.

We paid $66,000 for the land and currently owe $43,000. Goal was to get the land paid down as low as possible... At least to $10,000 -15,000 before we start to build.

Should we use the 10,000 I contributed to my retirement plan and pay down the land to build sooner? then, roll the $14,000 into Roth? Or roll it all into Roth, as using that $10,000 is just dumb?

Current situation... Living with inlaws. House sold faster than we imagined. Any serious advice would be appreciated.

Prayers sent. It's unfortunate our best four legged friends live such short lives.
