Biblical Borrowing
We’ve all heard those commercials for mortgage refinancing and home equity lines of credit. Most of them say that the money’s yours and that you can use it any way you want. The problem is, that’s not really true at all. The fact is, whenever you borrow, the money isn’t yours. You’re just renting it at a price. Today on MoneyWise Rob West and Steve Moore tell us what the Bible really says about borrowing. Next, they answer your questions at (800) 525-7000 and questions@moneywise.org about the following:
-I have whole life insurance policy that has some cash value. I’m thinking of converting that over to something that I can use in retirement. What’s the best approach?
-My company has offered a pension buyout. What should I do with the money once I receive it?
-I just retired and my 401k needs to be rolled out into an IRA. How do I determine what’s the best way to do that?
