UPDATE.....I just did a really hard thing.....

Well, since my post I received the check in the mail and DH and I have decided what we are doing with this money.

We are buying office furniture! My dad was a businessman and very particular about his home office...he spent a lot of time there and a lot of time fixing it up. So...we are going to decorate ours in memory of him. We have a beautiful desk already picked out and are just deciding about the books shelves and some other things for the room.

I feel good about this decision and I think it will be a beautiful room due to his help!!

8/23 will be 4 years since my dad passed away. Since then I have received paperwork on different IRA's and accounts that I was the beneficiary on. The past 4 years have been so difficult that I haven't touched any of the accounts...and thankfully haven't needed any of the money.

Well with my DH and I buying our first home, I thought it was selfish of me to be sitting on this money....I never even found out how much was there.

So today I just sent in the first form to liquidate one of the IRA's. I did find out that it is a large amount of money but for some reason this is just so hard and I don't even want it. It was supposed to be for my dad's retirement

Thanks for listening
