(Figure 25% at least). Use it. 2) This IS taking on debt- it just doesn't look like it in the checkbook register. Don't mess with dental health. It has repercussions decades later. Just because "no new debt" made you feel more comfortable now doesn't make it the right thing to do. Wow I disagree with this one.

Braces are a wonderful thing, you are saving costly dental, and gun work later for your kid, and that a good investment. Also she will have a better self confidence and outlook on life and will be able to go father then she would have. I do not agree.
