What other things might she need with the $3000 given the economy we're heading into? On the other hand, we're vain creatures and I'm glad my parents got me braces way back when.

It depends on how bad her teeth are, braces might not be "just vanity" but a medical necessity. She shouldn't have (for example) physical discomfort while eating, or be unable to clean her teeth properly so she loses them to gum disease, etc.

I'd go ahead and do it. The only reason not to is that you think the caca will hit the fan sometime soon. But if the caca hits the fan then we'd have hyperinflation and bank failures and you wouldn't have the three grand spare anyway! Use it or lose it :)

Thanks, not that I had any say to start with (never ask sisters, sister-in-laws, school mums - in fact any woman! - for their opinion on such matters). Guess we'll just have to be another three grand behind the eight ball if current trends continue.

Further, never ever seek a second opinion and let your wife find out about it!!!

Ahh, to be out of debt...

Still crossing fingers and toes, coz there's two other kids with teeth in this family.
