Today I answer a slew of your e-mails about vacation homes, financing a college education, balancing your assets before and during retirement and more!

Today, I answer listener's e-mail's. Topics include:

• Why vacation homes and time shares tend to destroy peoples retirement plan and the few instances when they are a good idea.
• Financial planning for your child's college education.
• Why an Indexed Universal Life Insurance policy (ILU)  may not be a good strategy for saving for college.
• Why trying to time the market is a terrible idea.
• Why you need a detailed retirement plan to help adjust for corrections in the market and why your risk tolerance decreases as your portfolio increases.
• Rebalancing your asset allocation when working vs. in retirement.

I also answer a callers question about funding a Roth IRA account in addition to a 401(k) and capital gains on stocks.
