Interesting. Which means that I'm not going to do anything noteworthy for at least the next 20 years. Ten of it to finish raising the girls and then ten of mad hard work to get anywhere... assuming I have a real direction by then. I'll just have to do without the 29% since I doubt I'll ever have that.
