DAVE SAYS

Why you shouldn’t Paying for the classes cash out Dear Dave, Is it a good idea for a married couple in their early thirties, who have a lot of student loan debt, to cash out one of their 401(k)s to pay it off?

Marcy Dear Marcy,

Who Is Dave Ramsey?

Dave Ramsey is a personal money management expert, popular national radio personality and the author of three New York Times bestsellers – The Total Money Makeover, Financial Peace Revisited and More Than Enough. In them, Ramsey exemplifies his life’s work of teaching others how to be financially responsible, so they can acquire enough wealth to take care of loved ones, live prosperously into old age, and give generously to others.

Ramsey knows first-hand what financial peace means in his own life, having lived living a true rags-toriches to rags-to-riches story. By age 26 he had established a $4,000,000 real estate portfolio, only to lose it by age 30. He has since rebuilt his financial life and now devotes himself full-time to helping ordinary people understand the forces behind their financial distress and how to set things right - financially, emotionally and spiritually.

Ramsey offers life-changing financial advice as host of a nationally syndicated radio program, “The Dave Ramsey Show,” which is heard by three million listeners each week on more than 300 radio stations throughout the United States. His syndicated column, “Dave Says,” can be read in more than 250 publications worldwide.

He resides with his wife, Sharon, and their three children, Denise, Rachel, and Daniel, in Nashville, Tennessee.

No way! You never cash out a 401(k) or IRA to pay off debt, unless it’s to avoid a foreclosure or bankruptcy. Let’s say you take $50,000 out of your 401(k). Do you know what happens next? They’re going to charge you a 10 percent penalty, plus your tax rate. If you make $75,000 a year, that puts you in a 25 percent tax rate, plus the penalty. That’s a 35 percent hit, and that’s how much of your money is going straight down the toilet.

Look at it this way. You wouldn’t ask me if it’s okay to borrow money at a 35 percent interest rate to pay off your school loans, right? That would be ridiculous, and this is just as dumb.

Dear Dave, IMy wife and I have our fully funded emergency fund in place, and we’re debt-free, except for the house. She wants to return to school to get a master’s degree and change careers. She’ll be reimbursed up to $7,000 a year. Can we use some of our emergency fund to get things started?

Kevin Dear Kevin, I’ve got a better idea. Save up the money!

You guys are in great shape already. And to me, this opportunity seems like a small investment with a fabulous return. I really like the idea. But you have to be careful when it comes to things like this. You don’t want to get into the habit of calling things emergencies when they’re not emergencies. It’s a great thing, but it’s nowhere near an emergency.

I know she’s excited about the possibilities, but I’d just roll up my sleeves, save a little extra for a while and cash flow the classes She’ll probably get reimbursed for the first classes right after she gets her grades, then you can use the reimbursement check to There are no shortcuts when it comes to pay for the next classes, and the next check getting out of debt, Marcy. Roll up your the next classes. Make sense? sleeves and get on a beans and rice budget where every dollar has a name. This I love the school idea, and I’m glad your wife has such a great opportunity. But I don’t will enable you to save money and pay want you to take a chance on messing up off that debt! the progress you’ve made in taking control

—Dave

of your finances. Just take your time and save for those first classes. You’ll be glad you did!

Ask Diana If you have any questions about interviewing, hiring, or work, just email Ask Diana. I’d love to hear from you. Due to the volume of response, not every question will appear in the column, but most questions will receive an email response within 2 to 3 days.

You recently informed a reader not to make up fake references, but failed to tell him what to do if he does get a job offer contingent upon verifiable references - and he has no good references. Are there really any instances where an employer finds that acceptable? Or could one volunteer and use those references? Is that considered a professional reference? Thank you for your attention and consideration.

-Houston. Texas Reader Volunteer work is a good source of references.

Do a great job, be there consistently, and make friends with co-workers and supervisors. They’ll be glad to be called as a reference. Personal references are never a good source of information – after all, I hope that your friends will say you’re really nice! If you haven’t worked for a short time, you can’t have many references, and the company will understand that. They may not even check references on an entry-level position. It all

depends on the company. If the job offer is contingent upon verifiable references, you need to contact anyone with whom you’ve worked in the past, and ask them to be a reference. You should need only three.

I work for a company with 150 employees.

One department manager in a key production position has been a “toxic employee” for years. Turnover in his department is 100%, people are transferred out regularly, and written complaints from co-workers are a constant. He is volatile, aggressive, disorganized, uneducated and grossly underskilled for the position - but has been here for a long time. When his behavior is addressed, he apologizes, and it is business as usual. A year ago, his supervisor had accumulated documentation and was moving toward firing him. Then the supervisor quit and was never replaced. Since then, problems are much worse. He spends time outside of work and takes long lunches with his good friend--- the HR Manager! What, if any, recourse do the rest of us have when the HR Manager keeps a buddy around even though he disrupts everyone coming in

contact with him or his department?

Signed, I thought HR was supposed to help?

-Houston, Texas Reader What a mess! This guy is costing the company more money than he can make for them. I think that he must know everything about his position and management must think that they can’t replace him. He is making sure that they can’t by being a jerk to everyone who might be able to learn enough and stay long enough to be promoted to management in that department.

If you want to put your neck out and get this problem addressed, you have to simultaneously contact the HR Manager and her/his supervisor with hard information about the issue. Be prepared for a huge reaction and possible blow-up. You will need dates, times, names and exact descriptions of each incident. Documentation may be difficult to find, but the sheer weight of numbers should open the topic for HR. Don’t go to them unprepared with “he said – she said” comments. You have to have reliable proof, and the people involved have to agree that they will confirm the incident. Without



that backing, your claim will be robbed of legitimacy.

The first thing that you need to say to the HR Manager is that you know about their close personal relationship, and you hate to talk about his behavior with her. Tell her that you know that she will be completely fair in her assessment. This statement will put the spotlight on the personal relationship. By being upfront, you put her in a position where she CANNOT drop the ball without creating negativity for herself.

Your only alternative is to ignore the problem and hope that it will go away.
