[quote=Anonymous]A little bit of a s/o on the other newly divorced thread. I'm 48 and my two teens will go to college in 3 and 5 years. Retirement is good and basic expenses are budgeted for, but college funds are light. ExDH hated travel, so it's been about 18 years since I've gone abroad or done any big vacations. Before marriage, I lived abroad, learned languages, and would so love to do a bit of that again. But also know I need to either save more for kids college or pull from retirement to do so. Help me set a plan for college saving and still be able to travel. Or tell me I'm being a jerk parent. I have about 800/month I could allocate to: 529s, more retirement, or saving for vacations. 1M retirement Roth/tIRA 30k emergency fund 100k per child 529s Monthly income covers mortgage & expenses, with that 800 leftover. Plan on working for at least 10 more years. [/quote]
