ASK MEG

Don't limit yourself to an either-or investment strategy

Q: I need your help in trying to decide what I should do next with my finances. I am 46 years old, married with two children, 17 and 20. My husband and I have paid for our house, prepaid for our daughters' college. I have worked for a government agency for the past 20 years and I hope to retire within 10 to 15 years.

    My grandmother, Big Mama, had a key financial rule that I've followed throughout my life.

    You can manage without a telephone, she would say. You can take the bus and get by without a car. But you can't live comfortably if don't have a roof over your head. Big Mama always made sure she paid her mortgage and on time.
