Bonds are a good idea. CD rates are not that attractive.

You said that you have your parent’s money in savings because you are afraid of the liability, but have you looked into at least bonds, or cds? Surely a savings account with 50,000 is not the best way to go about things?

Best of luck to you. I also track my investments on my blog, but so far I have very little exposure to real estate. It seems the real estate market is overpriced in my opinion.

That’s a good question. I would normally left it out but I had to show why I have a negative net. Their money is sort of mixed into mine right now. Once I move all their money into their dedicated accounts, I would exclude them in my future charts.

Why do you consider your parents’ retirement savings part of your liquid net worth, if your own retirement savings aren’t? If I was your parents, I wouldn’t be too happy about that.
