what would you do with your tax money

would you fix the roof that leaks every time it rains or put it towards the home equity or bank it? I say fix the roof and whatever is left over bank it my dh disagrees he says bank it all in case for a rainy day (no punt intended).

I would fix the roof...otherwise you may have much bigger bills in the future due to complications from a leaking roof.
You are investing in the house by fixing the roof and it's the wisest investment out there.

Re: what would you do with your tax money

definitely fix the roof, you don't want to let something like that go on for long, you can damage the structure of your house,and then it won't matter if you have paid down principal.

Def fix the roof. You can have so many other lasting & more expensive issues if it gets worse (like wood rot, mold, foundation porblems, etc).

Re: what would you do with your tax money

if something is already broken...it IS the rainy day you've been saving for.

tell W. he makes no sense. the rainy day will just make the fixing more expensive.
