Financial Advice: We can't give it, but...

A reader asks what our take is on various investment vehicles for retirement or college education. We cannot offer financial advice: it's beyond the scope of this blog and the contributors' expertise.

We will say that we commend any effort to save for the future. A household's financial capacity determines whether to save for retirement and/or college. If a choice must be made between the two--choose retirement. If you are fortunate enough to be able to save for one or both, we'd encourage a consultation with a certified financial planner through your preferred financial institution to discuss the best investment vehicles.

And get this--your children, even if very young, can learn to save, too. Check out "For me, for you, for Later" brought to us all by Sesame Street.
