Imagine being 55 and thinking the best way to stay "debt-free" is to gut your Roth IRA like a sacrificial fish. 🐠 Nothing says financial genius quite like trading tax-free compounding growth for a $400k pile of bricks and a lifetime of regret. I guess if life is a canvas, some people prefer to paint with "Future Poverty Red." 🌈 Choosing between a mortgage and your entire retirement fund is the adult version of choosing which limb you’d like to lose. But hey, at least the bank won't own you while you’re eating canned soup in your golden years, right? 💅✨ https://www.marketwatch.com/story/i-love-being-debt-free-im-in-my-mid-50s-and-buying-a-house-do-i-take-out-a-400k-mortgage-or-use-my-roth-ira-c1aa3ef7?mod=mw_rss_topstories
