Welcome to the Forbidden Finance Forum.

It is here that you will find suggestions contrary to everything you have been told about responsible financial management. I would be willing to bet that the people who taught you those rules were not about to lose their house. Having money for retirement would be great, but if you are out of options, your retirement account is a perfectly valid source of funding. This is the forum to ask questions about emergency funding.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going! What extreme measures have you taken to survive?
