Ahh , I have found my answers ; There is a thread posted under (Other topics) which exactly addresses my question;

Thank you for feedback ; Apologize for the rambling; Here is my questions in a shorter form : 1) will be 50K/year in 10 years enough for tuition ? At the current rate of tuition increase (10-15% /year) , this is my principal concern. 2) Every person and situation is different and there is no...

Hello folks, While I have joined the forum a while back ( 2007), and I lurked since 2001, I have not been active in posting. I would like the common borg to critique the plan I currently have: Date of freedom (as I think I planned it in 2007) was 2022; It is still the plan today (maybe now on...

Long time lurker here ( 2001 ?). I have to move closer to my w*rk (for the past 9 years I had 70 min commutes one way, now close to 90 min :mad:). I'm planning to RENT my current house which has a great deal of sweat and bubble equity in. I need advice regarding renting vs. selling my current...
