Thanks for sharing. Very encouraging. Because of financial setback we are in a situation very similar to yours. We also live in Maryland and have three daughters, two in college now and one coming up next year.

Comment on Does this look like a good savings plan? by Sean Roberts

This looks like an excellent plan.

But don’t forget to put money aside for the car. It will need repairs soon or later. Also, put money aside to replace the car. Cars rarely last more than 7 years. Put at least 1/7 of the cost of a new car aside each year. Don’t forget inflation. Cars go up in price each year.

Also, put money aside for health care, both for health insurance premiums and for co-payments.

You already paid that penalty, which is why your check was short 20,000.
