In my opinion (take it for what it is worth) I do not believe you should stop your retirement savings. This is one of THE most important things that you should never skimp on. First, once you are in the habit of savings for retirement you should keep it up, inertia is always against you. Second, it is tax free or deferred, you won't get that for your debt (car/home) payments, emergency funds, investments, etc... Third, in VERY dire situations you can always cash it out. Therefore, I like your overall plan but PLEASE do not short change your retirement!<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-246106">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> I really like your plan except for one thing.
