The New York Times gives us the results of a survey that suggests 47% of 50-70 year olds are banking on their home equity to fund their retirement. Suze Orman makes a good point when she says your retirement comes first and if you're not on track, to not even THINK about putting a penny aside for your kid's college fund. "The kids can borrow for their college education but you can't borrow for your retirement." She's right about that!  Those of us in our slightly younger years might want to pay attention here.
