I want to buy some type of book/cd/software to learn Mandarin Chinese. My focus is to learn conversational Chinese to where I can speak enough to try to converse in China when visiting. I plan to visit often for business in the next 6 months and may even transfer there. I know if I transfer there my speaking ability will increase but I need to learn some good basics now. Does anyone have experience with Rosetta Stone or something similar?

A great deal of the wealthy in our country have what I call the "metallika complex". They've gotten to a point where they have so many assetts that their money could sit in a bank and accrue more than enough in interest for them to get any thing that they could ever want, and at the same time they lobby people in the government to pass laws so they can bilk the working class out of their hard earned money and make it harder for other people to succeed.

I have two children, 9 and 11, whom I am planning to put through college. I am debating whether to put money into a 529 investment fund or putting it into a Roth IRA and pulling out the money needed to pay for their college when the time comes.

What I would rather do is pay for most of their college expenses by having them get student loans. I would be able to keep my money in a compounding interest account and make money against the interest rate of the student loan. I could then pay their loans off over five years after they graduate. This would not only net me more interest earned, but would also establish their credit for when they need to acquire more serious loans such as a new car loan or mortgage.

One of the reasons that I am leary of putting money into 529 (which I know would work better than a Roth IRA) is that they will tally that in when putting together a student loan package. As far as I know, retirement accounts cannot be touched.
