We have four lovely kids, the oldest of which is becoming a teenager this year. When each of them was born, we opened a 529 plan and have been making regular contributions.

It might come as a HUGE shock to you, but I was not in the top 1% of my high school. We had 495 kids in my graduating class and so you’d have to be top five (technically, top four I suppose) in the class to be in the top 1%. I wasn’t in that rarified air. I wasn’t even in the top 5%.

I was never a big gambler but it was fun to be part of that excitement. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve come to like gambling less and less. It’s because I realize now that Las Vegas is about entertainment. Nearly every single bet is in the casino’s favor and so you’re just paying them to be entertained. To get that rush. As someone who doesn’t feel that rush too acutely when I gambled, all I could think about was how every b ..read more
