    Default Re: life planning/real estate advise

    Sun,
    It is obvious you're in a higher income bracket. I hope you have a financial advisor you can trust and is good. You also need a good CPA or equivalent for the tax issues. Then you should have an Estate Planning attorney. Each one of the groups I mentioned have their own areas of expertise. You need to get them all in a group, in the same room, and thrash out the best solution FOR YOU. With the ways tax laws, investment market, real estate market, and estate laws change, I don't see any way any one person can keep up with it all. Good advice is seldom free, and it is my belief you get what you pay for but simply the $$$ cost doesn't negate the need to do your homework. Then again, you can do all the right things and something will change in a second, beyond your control, and you'll kick yourself for not doing something else.

    Edit: something I just remembered are the intangible things that you cannot possible put a price tag on. Something I did when I considered a major relocation and job change was to make a list of concerns. Everything from commute time, to fuel, food, and insurance prices, to access to a trauma center. Each issue had a weight for importance from 0 to 10 and a rating of -10 to +10. Go down the list and multiply the weight x rating and see what the score is. In my case it was so positive, I'm now in the Pocono Mountains.
