I'm thinking of stopping my contributions until the econ- omy picks up and using the extra money to pay off the credit card debt I've accumu- lated. My parents flipped when I told them my plan. Although I'm only 32, they're afraid I'll be putting my retirement in jeopardy. Are they right? -- Molly, New York Dear Molly: Your parents proba- bly know that your IRA will weath- er many ups and downs and still yield significant profit by the time you reach retirement. But they're overlooking a fundamental finan- cial principle: The best investment is a repaid debt. You're probably paying double-digit interest rates on your credit card bills, and every dollar you pay off now is a dollar saved in future finance charges. So go ahead and suspend your weekly IRA contributions, but resume them as soon as your debt is paid off. Dear Mary: My husband is a spender, while I'm a saver. To keep the peace between us, I opened my own bank account. When I told him, he freaked. He said we're mar- ried and that makes it wrong to keep separate accounts. Is he right? -- Marsha, Minnesota You'd probably feel betrayed and worried that he was about to bolt. Say to your husband: "I'm sorry I hurt you. I just wanted to be sure we'd have cash for emer- gencies." Then say: "Suppose we each get an allowance to spend as we please. That way, you get your spending money, and I get my budget." Dear Mary: After years of struggling, my wife and I have finally gotten ourselves out of debt. It is such a great feeling! Now that we aren't focused on paying creditors, we'd like to start figuring out how to secure our financial future. We thought it might be a good idea to hire an advisor. Is the expense really going to help us get our finances and future in order? And how do we find a financial plan- Dear Marsha: Right or wrong, your husband flipped because your actions seem to say you don't trust him and that you have plans that don't include him. Imagine how you'd feel if a partner stashed cash in a secret account. ner we can trust? -- David, Mis- souri Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate Dear David: A good financial planner can be invaluable. And you want a qualified, professional advi- sor, not a salesman. Finan- cial advisors come in two flavors: commissioned and fee-based. Although advi- sors who charge by the hour are not nearly as plen- tiful as planners who get a commission for the finan- cial products they will try to sell to you, you should be able to find one in your area. Go to the website of the National Association of Personal Financial Advi- sors, www.NAPFA.org, and type in your zip code. All the planners in this database are certified and fee-only.
