Re: Balancing Retirement and Non-Retirement Savings

50-50 might be good rule then in your case, assuming you've
sucked up any "free" money in terms of retirement matching
or low-inocme savers-credits.

There has been talk of a "universal" tax-advantaged savings account
that would combine retirement, health, college, house, etc.  That
would
simplify the situation.  Not much progress yet.  I guess the political
thinking is if a new account is created, it sound like its giving back
more money than expanding an exisiting account.
