Message: [QUOTE="Debi, post: 7049319, member: 13937"] The really cool thing is that I still have my live poker fund. So the question of the day is - what do I do with it? [LIST=1] [*]Save it for future personal fun stuff. This is what my husband wants me to do with it. It would re-plenish my casino fund many times - or I could do other things with it as well. I think he chooses this because he plays a lot of golf and me playing poker has always been the tradeoff for that. I think he feels a bit guilty that he will continue to have golf and I won't have poker anymore. (He shouldn't feel that way). [*]Leave it in our savings account. I am going part time in May and Joe is retiring fully in Mar 2026. Our income will drop and we are trying to build a secure future. This is my first choice. [*]Pay it towards the principle on our mortgage - our house will not quite be paid for when Joe retires. I like this option too. [*]Use it towards upgrading my cataract surgery so that I will have near perfect vision for the first time in my life. I would no longer need contacts or glasses, except maybe reading glasses. I can get basic surgery for about $400 out of pocket but would still need low level contacts and glasses. The upgrade will cost $11k!! (and I don't have that much in my poker fund lol) o_Oo_Oo_O [*]Use it for a great trip for me and Joe. [/LIST] Joe wants me to do 1 - and still upgrade my lenses in 4. Tammy and Martin want me to do 4 too. I am dying over spending that much money this close to retirement. But the idea of perfect vision is quite appealing. My vision is [B]VERY[/B] bad. I know it is ultimately a very personal decision that I have to make - but I am happy to hear your advice! [/QUOTE]
