• To quote George Bailey as he's talking to Clarence the angel. Clarence says, "We don't use money in Heaven." George says, "well it comes in pretty handy around here, Bub."

• I'm curious where you go to get FAFSA intel such as your reference to the computer-glitch and 38 questions. I'm preparing to do it for the first time, read a Princeton Review book on the topic, but haven't seen many sneak peeks at what the changes are. Thanks!

• For income, when I put in the amount of money we take home after maxing IRA, almost maxing deferred comp it seems inline with other calculations on other tools. When I put in our gross base salary, it tells me I should try to have a nest egg about twice as high as what I estimate. This type of extreme gap puts this outside the range of what I would consider a useful tool for most people. The initial number I got I would see as ridiculously unattainable. I think I know better, but it would risk being discouraging to people looking for a simple tool rather than motivating. Maybe that's just my case. I appreciate the effort and intent.
