Message: [QUOTE="OldTimer, post: 1268840, member: 58798"] I always tell my sons that "ya gotta eat your peas and carrots before you have your cake and pie". Meaning that if you put the windfall aside(invest it) and go ahead and tough it out through school on your own, not only will you be stronger as an individual, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you made do with less. Once you're out of the woods and are in a position where you can afford to buy a home without using the funds that you've set aside, you may have enough to do something that will have a significant effect on your life. If you start chiseling away at it now, you'll be left with nothing by the time you're in a position to do yourself some good. [/QUOTE]
