Marty is a computer engineer and is progressing in his career; his wife is a stay-at-home mom.Marty's employer provides group life, health, and disability insurance, but does not offer a 401K or other type of retirement plan.Apart from a $200,000 down payment on a house, Marty will use the remaining $800,000 of his recent windfall to fund both the educational expenses for his children and his retirement needs.He does not plan to withdraw any of the money until his older child starts college, 14 years from now, and he does not plan to retire until age 60.
