They are coming home on leave before her husband deploys to Afghanistan. None of us has met him before, so we would like to have a reception to welcome him to the family. I am not sure what I should do for decorations or a meal. We expect to have between 40 and 65 guests at our home for this. I have been out of work for five years, so I need to keep the cost down. That is why I am asking you -- and perhaps your readers -- for any tips and sugges- tions for such a party that will not break the bank. -- Joyce R., Michi- gan Dear Joyce: My first thought: potluck. By asking everyone to bring a favorite appetizer or dessert, you could have a wonder- ful spread of finger foods and yummy sweets, with everyone involved in welcoming home the happy couple. If you request that items come "table-ready," you won't have to provide serving dish- es, which will make things even easier. As for decor, I'd go with a Hawaiian wedding theme. Search online for "Hawaiian party decora- tions" and you'll find all kinds of ideas. Provided your relatives and guests are willing to participate in a potluck party (I'm certain they will be), this will free you up to either make or purchase a small wedding cake for them to cut and feed to each other and to take photos. Readers who are bursting with ideas of their own should head over to my blog, where we can con- tinue this conversation — MoneyRulesDebt- Stinks.com. Dear Mary: I'm a 26- year-old community col- lege student who also works as a freelance writer. I have student loans and am paying the accumulating interest on them while I'm in school. I also have nearly $18,000 in credit card debt, which I'm working to pay off. Since I'm self-employed, I know that I should start an indi- vidual retirement account to save for later in life. Which is more important, paying off the credit card debt in full or paying down the credit cards gradually and starting an IRA? -- Victoria K., e-mail Dear Victoria: As long as you have outstanding consumer debt (you have a lot of it), you don't have the luxury of putting any of Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate your money at risk in an IRA, in my opinion. You could fund that retirement account to the maximum allowed for your income level every year and still it would look like a mouse standing next to the elephant that is your consumer debt. I'm going to go one step further and advise you not to take any more student loans. I'm happy to know you are paying the interest on the loans you have now, but honestly that is a tiny con- solation in the bigger scheme of things. With the student debt and credit card balances, you must be looking at a total of $30,000 or more. Do everything in your power to become debt-free as soon as possible; then you'll be in a good position to begin investing. Do you have a question for Mary? E-mail her at mary@everydaycheapskate.com, or write to Everyday Cheapskate, P.O. Box 2135, Paramount, CA 90723.
