Peter, what are you putting into your 529 if you don't mind me asking....you can PM me if you like.

Sean, I know it's offtopic...but, I max out the kids 529 each year...for the way I have the accounts set up and based on their ages, I dump just a hair over $27k into the account each year. That is my annual max based on the schedule that my financial advisor at ML has put together to get to where I want to get to at the end of the savings life cycle for each of the three kids...

Damn bro, don't feel like that, just do something about it! You need to make sure your kids and you and the wife are taken care of in the future...if you have $ left over to blow, then by all means....CARS!
