The triplets are now three and a half years old, and Jamie Lee and Ross, both 38, are finally beginning to settle down in to a regular routine now that their children are a little more self-sufficient. The first three years were a blur of diapers, feedings, baths, mounds of laundry, and crying babies! Jamie Lee and Ross finally had a welcomed dinner out on their own as Ross's parents were minding the triplets. They were having a conversation about their future and the future of the triplets. College expenses, which they figured to be $130,000, and their eventual retirement seemed to be a major worry of the both of them. They both have dreamed of owning a beach house when they retire. That could be another $395,000 thirty years from now. They wondered how could they possibly afford all of this?
