Couple of things ( which are none of my business, but make me wonder your reasonings )
Why take out $17000, to put $10000 in savings ? I cannot believe the saving interest rate is better than the loan interest rate.
Why involve WW.. I'm pretty sure there would be a way not to involve her..
Very first thing that came to my mind when i read this post was that you are trying to show WW you are cash rich.. i.e look what you are missing WW..I've now got money..
Similar to your cabin trick with the kids...
Call me sceptical, but seems like more manipulation on your part. I would move heaven and earth to avoid my WW knowing my finances - You do the opposite !
