About 80% of this money is tax-deferred (solo 401k, IRA, Roth IRA). So as of right now 20% of this money is "taxable" and of course I'm looking to grow that pot. I have both a Roth and a regular IRA. Depends on the year whether I'm in Roth IRA land or regular IRA land. Thanks again.

So my sister and her husband bought a timeshare (yes, one of those that did so after a presentation - I warned them...) about 2 years ago. They've used it, but apparently don't like the little fees here and there, esp. to "exchange" for another location. So...anyone have a website/broker that...
