I know I shouldn’t think this way. As we talked about taking money out of this fund, then deciding on an amount and finally signing the papers and officially withdrawing it, I felt bad. It felt wrong, and I know I shouldn’t feel this way. I know that we open IRA’s so that we contribute to it and they (hopefully) grow and grow so that when we retire we’ll have money to go along with our Social Security, but if we don’t make it to retirement, then what’s the point of that money? I’ve got to survive now in order to eventually make it to retirement and that money will help me survive now. And there’s always a chance I’ll get a job again.

Soon.

Right?
