I do know that the penalties for a 401k loan can be pretty great @ Ron, that might be the best quote I've ever heard I'm going to put that in the body of the blog.

Most people today allow life to happen to them while those of us with goals make it happen every day. My goal is to reduce my non-mortgage debt by half. It will be a huge stretch, but I think that my wife and I can do it. Thanks for sharing your goals. Ron Hey Daniel,

Congratulations for even HAVING goals. Most people today allow life to happen to them while those of us with goals make it happen every day.

My goal is to reduce my non-mortgage debt by half. It will be a huge stretch, but I think that my wife and I can do it.

Thanks for sharing your goals.

Ron

If you are doing those goals in order, and cannot fund the Roth just yet as you are working on the emergency fund, consider this - put the emergency money inside a Roth. Any money you deposit can be taken out tax and penalty free, and if you have no emergency, that money will kick start your retirement plan. Once you start the 401(k), your company may allow a loan, which may tide you over in case of a brief need for some money. Joe Just a thought for you.
