[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]this precise question with almost exactly these options was posted recently. worth doing a search if you are really interested in the answers.[/quote]

I'm not OP, but it really irritates me when people say this. If forum posters were only ever allowed to ask original questions, forum activity would seriously die a quick death. Furthermore, have you ever tried searching these forums? I sometimes can't even find my own post using words I'm sure I used in my post.

OP, for me I think it would be 2, but honestly we'll probably never get there, because our retirement needs work first. I might modify it slightly to be that by graduation age, it will pay for school, based on our contributions in the future, not that it currently does.[/quote]

It's a shame for you that you feel irritated, because people like PP and me will continue to say it, and I actually think it is good advice.  On MANY occasions I have taken the time to write a thoughtful response to something, and many other people have as well, and it's been a good, informative thread.  When someone posts the exact same question a day later, I'm not going to take the time to rewrite the whole thing I wrote before.  I'm just not.  And I would guess a lot of other people feel the same way.  So yeah, I do think you are going to get the most complete information by doing a brief search of the archives before posting, particularly if, as a PP pointed out, it's a question seeking specific information rather than conversation.  I'm sure some new people might see the second posting, but I suspect a lot of us read these boards pretty thoroughly (as evidenced by the fact that people notice it's a repeat posting.)

You can feel as irritated as you'd like -- if I cared enough to have a feeling about this, I would find it irritating that you expect lots of other people to take their time to rewrite you a response just because you can't be bothered to do a 2-minute search.[/quote]
