Can I afford to retire?
I can’t retire until my kid has finished college and has a job. My daughter is still living at home and needs support.
So a little background:
Margaux is sixteen years old. She has been a homeschooler for five years. She is doing college math, physics, software, and working on a startup. I’m worried because college costs a lot of money and that means as parents, we have to help our kids get an education, find a job, and settle down – all of which take longer.
And by the way, don’t forget the huge debt that we co-signed. Bottom line: we may have to work longer to pay it off. So, good bye retirement.
