Predicament: Retirement or private school fees?


Last week, Joyce shared about saving private fees. I agree with her. Here’s my predicament. Retirement or private school fees? But it is a decision we have to make.

My eldest is about to do her UPSR and on the brink of secondary school. With two more in tow at 10 and seven years old and the family’s money-making machines – both husband and I averaging 50 – we feel saving for education as well as for retirement are equally important.
