So what? I am so tired of this. Live like crap for 70 years so you can fly first class at 75.[/quote]

If you live like crap, it is because you choose to do so.  The lack of a degree from a brand-name school does not per se translate to living like crap.  Make different choices.

RE "tired of this" - you sound like a 12 year old.   Grow up.  You have a family, including a dependent for whom you are responsible.

What is the status of your daughter's college fund?  Will she have to take out loans to get through school?  That question has been asked a few times and you have not answered it.

I am the poster who wrote of "being tired of this". I am not the OP - I have a Harvard degree (among others). And by 'this' I mean the ridiculous saving mentality of DCUM. For some reason people are supposed to save millions for retirement so that they can go live with other old poeple or something. Life today matters, too. OP appear to have been earning his living or a while and has a right to spend it however he pleases. This is something he cares about and it costs as much as a good car. I wouldn't do it myself, but if it is that important to him, maybe daughter should take some loans for her college. Maybe she should do that regardless, it might make her think twice about majoring in puppetry or some such.[/quote]

Of course he has a "right" to spend his money. If he wants to raid his 401k and spend it on hats, no one here can stop him. But he asked for our opinion. Most PPs think he should wait until his retirement and kids college find are fully funded, whatever that means to him and his wife (whose money this is too, which you seem to be glossing over, by the way). Don't get your panties in a bunch just because your opinion is in the decided minority, dear. [/quote]
