Today, we continue the Q&A blitz!

Here are the questions I cover today:

\\n
• Do you have any tips or feedback about how to factor a special needs child \\xa0when planning for retirement, college, etc?. The typical advice usually is that, typical, once you have a special needs child things change as you dwell into the wonderful world of early intervention, therapies, IEPs, tax planning, etc, \\xa0I used to think I would just need to change my assumptions in terms of planning for our son to be with us long way past his 18th birthday, as well as making sure we plan for after we are gone. But I\\u2019m sure I\\u2019m missing other strategies.

• I\'ve been working at a major package delivery company for almost 26 years. I was just inducted into the circle of honor. Which means that I have gone accident free for over 25 years. Mind you I drive in New York City. I am highly trained, and pretty good at what I do. Since listening to you, and some other podcasts. I was thinking of starting my own podcast. Driving is something almost everyone does and there really aren\'t any podcasts on safe driving. Trust me most people don\'t know what they\'re doing. The problem I have is exactly what you went through after episode 181. I don\'t want to argue with people over everything that I say. I don\'t understand why people can\'t take the good, and credible information out of a conversation, and leave the bad behind. I don\'t agree with everything you said, but that doesn\'t mean I didn\'t pause, \\xa0and think about what you were saying. Kudos to you. I\'ll be retiring in four years, maybe by then I won\'t care what anybody thinks. Since I have your attention I have a question. I have a 15 year old son. Who works for his mothers company from home. He he takes home takes home $225 every two weeks. In which she saves about 75% of that. I opened up a brokerage account for him to separate the money from savings, and checking. I spread the money out into four different ETFs. I\'m trying to teach him to invest and diversify. The problem I have is he maybe using some of this money, or all of it for college. I\'m afraid the stock portion could be a problem, since I know you shouldn\'t have money in the market you\'re going to need within 3 to 5 years. Would like to know your thoughts on this situation.
\\n
• During episode 181 you mentioned that you don\\u2019t have your money in the markets for moral reasons. Where do you put your money and have it grow in line with inflation or better yet beat it?
\\n
• I very much enjoy your show. \\xa0I took in the marathon of show #181. \\xa0Thank you for using such controversial material to make your point. There is not enough genuine debate and too much simplified propaganda from all sides in this country. One point that stood out to me from this particular show is your personal approach to investment for your own family. \\xa0My question is, if your position on investing in large \\u201cEvil\\u201d public companies is so strong that you would not personally invest in them, how do you justify working in the financial industry, advising individuals on their investments in those same publicly traded companies? \\xa0I\\u2019m assuming that you are or will be engaged in that financial advisory role. Could you also please touch on the investment categories that you are or will consider for your family\'s financial plan (generally speaking of course). Keep up the good work. \\xa0Your show continues to be a source of excellent information and your delivery continues to improve!
\\n

Enjoy!
