Question : what to do with excess money? We max out all investments, but need to tax shelter more.?
please don't be a smart mouth and answer "give it to me." We max out our Roth IRAs, 401K, and (2) 529 plans. We still have too much in bank accounts. What else should we do?I should add that we give quite a bit to pro-life organizations and a few other charities.
