I saved that for 5 years. My daughter got hers two years prior for 50k. I was doing very well and my wife’s business was doing very well. We had our retirement put away, my cars were paid off, I had no credit cards and m kids had money for school. Then one day I get the call to come up to HR and to bring the Box that was packed for me that morning.
It was at that point I realized I had two choices. Fight back or eat my S&W. I chose to fight. Since 2008 I have missed over 16 months of work. And I never missed a payment! Smaller house, smaller cars, smaller dinners.
And I am happy.
I am glad you are happy but it still doesn’t explain $50K on a one time event for a child. No matter WHAT the financial situation was at the time.
Like I said, I just don’t understand.
It doesn’t mean I am suggesting you have made any kind of “wrong” decision. It is just a decision I can’t understand.
