Default Re: What\'s your retirement nut?

Despot,

Yes, but I think its a little optimistic to book them down for a private school education at this point in their life. Especially for many state programs you can prepay today and fund all their tuition for ~20-23k for an infant. Just move to Virginia and be done with it. But I do see what he was saying about college being more expensive. I just don't think those costs will be realized for majority of kids/parents, even wealthy ones.

On the second point it makes sense. I guess there would be some timing aspects in some markets. I was referring to businesses you ran previously and now turned over to someone semi-trusted, but you still did book work and other work each week so it was semi-auto pilot. Though I do agree that starting a new business in retirement for someone who never has probably isn't the best idea.

Thanks for the response.
