My original plan was to borrow money from an annuity account (I was given the wrong info over and over and thought that the taxes for borrowing it would only be 10%, my accountant has sense showed me that is not the case and it would NOT be a smart decision to take any money out before retirement) This knocked me down for awhile, and I kind of let the dream go for a bit.
