"From an early age, it goes into low-cost index funds. The only answer I have is slowly and that is figure out a way to make sure that money every month is invested in low-cost index funds."

"I put five grand — I think it was called a 529 — when my kid was born 18 years ago, and he's going to UVA and it's now worth $90,000. So obviously if I had done it every year for four years, which I did not, I probably would have been able to pay for the majority of his education."

"In terms of equities or thinking about this as an investment standpoint, I'm investing in European index funds. One because I'm at a stage where diversification is my call sign for investing. I don't want to get rich, I just don't want to get poor."

"You can already open a 529. I put $5,000 in a 529 when my oldest was born. That fund, I just looked at it because my son's going to college in the fall. It's worth $85,000 now."

"Equity is how you get wealthy. I have never really saved a lot of money with current income, and I am wealthy because of the equity I've owned in companies. ISOs and options are how, when you meet someone who's really wealthy and they work for a company, typically they've made their money through options and exercising those options."

"Diversification is taking on a new meaning because you're no longer diversified when you're just in the S&P, because 40% of the S&P is just 10 companies. What I tell people to do is not to try and time the markets, but to make sure they're diversified across asset classes. You can start looking at fixed income again, and more importantly, across geographies. I've been divesting some of my US holdings and going into Europe."

- Geographic arbitrage Recommends it "They did what ultimately I did — geographic arbitrage. I moved to Florida where the school we sent our kids to was 12 or $14,000 a year, not $58,000 a year. So we did the geographic arbitrage, which it sounds like what they've done." Only Scott
