What should I do with $4000 that I am about to receive??
I have a $5000 loan with a family member that is zero interest that I would like to pay off. Right now I pay this family member $200 every two weeks. I'm not sure if I should give my family member all this money to decrease my loan substantially or if I should put the $4000 in some kind of interest earning account seeing as I'm not paying interest on my family member's loan. I would just continue to pay my family member what I am paying him now.

I am all about removing your debts first before investing. Why? Lets say something happens and you lose money in your investment, that debt is still there! Lets say that family member has an emergency and needs that money, and you pull it out of your low-interest account, you look at incurring fees which will offset your earnings as a result of the early withdrawal. Now, with that money, you could easily increase that money and pay off the loan with money to spare, but its a risk and I would never recommend that unless I knew how investment saavy you were.
I would pay off any interest-bearing debts you have first, than use the remainder to pay off the familial debt. Then, if the debt is paid off, you can then use that extra money to actually increase your investment portfolio to include your works 401K AND the RothIRA...or you can stick with that RothIRA and use the extra income to learn to invest in individual stocks.

I tried to respond to your message on my 360 page, but your Yahoo! Answers settings does not allow responses or messages to be sent to you...

pay up - it's the decent thing to do

First, do you have at least a $1000 small emergency fund? If yes, then list all your debts smallest to largest. Start paying off the smallest debt to the largest debt until you have used up the $4000. If you don't have $1000 for a small emergency fund, take that off the top, put it a savings account and then use the remaining $3000 to pay off debt smallest to largest.

If this $5000 is your only debt then do the above steps on this amount of money.

I also suggest you read The Total Money Makeover by Ramsey. You will learn why you shouldn't borrow money (especially from family), why you need an emergency fund, how to work and stay with in a budget and how to save for the future.

FIRST THINGS FIRST- paying the loan off in full shows that they can count on you keeping your word. I know of so many situation that family members are not speaking to each other because one member did not follow through with their verbal agreement.

Pay it off, and you will not regret it at all.

I would pay about 2 grand on the loan you owe and save the rest:)


Trista M
yeah save it you will be making money on the interest without doing anything so in the end you have more money if you pay off your loan it is like wasting the money you could have earned in interest.


Debt Slayer
Pay back your loan. It was nice of the relative to loan you the money and agree to a payment plan. You can repay the favor by giving them what you can right now.

Pay it off. This "family member" is currently your master and you're his servant.

Don't believe me? Tell him you're going on vacation to Tahiti and watch him get real condescending real quick.


msquaredinc
Save your money. Put it in a 4-5% money market savings account. You may need it for an emergency. Keep paying the 200 a week with no interest, its the smartest choice.


winterrules
Set $2000 aside for emergencies. Put the rest toward the loan.
