In order to avoid the extra monetary burden off your shoulder you should start the planning for educational fees when your kids are infant or even better when they are born. At the same time retirement planning should get started when you have just stepped onto your job and stabilized yourself a bit on corporate world. On the other hand, when your kids grow, its possible for them to save more from pocket money or to have a part time job in order to help their parents."Tom"http://www.easyfinance.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7896998645146042950.post-33414029962954744042012-05-23T16:42:28.996+03:002012-05-23T16:42:28.996+03:00I don't know of annuities specific rates.

They should have jobs as soon as possible. Paying for their own phones and saving for college.

Otherwise, they may end up a far bigger burden on the kids than would have been the student loans they avoided by robbing their own retirement savings!Kurt @ Money Counselorhttp://mymoneycounselor.comnoreply@blogger.com
