[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting post OP - just saw it. My wife and I are 52 and she quit work last year since we adopted and she won't be going back to work for 5 yrs and then may volunteer or very part-time. At this point, both of us have worked 22 and 16 yrs. Wife has a doctorate.
My salary is $150k and I don't have much left over (mainly health and dental bills) but not concerned. We have no tuition but about $2k PI and more in travel which we will cut back due to child expenses.

We have just about 6 figures each in retirement and investment+house. Does DCUM think I should be worried?[/quote]

If you mean 2 million+ you should be more than fine if you can work another 8 yrs or so. How many yrs more for house payments? Can re-direct that money to child expenses for next few years. You just won't be able to save $800k for your child as DCUM does. You've done well. 
And btw I am not joking about $800k. In 18 yrs, private college will be about $200k a year including all expenses! Maybe you should start another thread.[/quote]
