@Mark Nolan I like the link to IRS retirement income.

See Section 3 B: https://malegislature.gov/Laws/GeneralLaws/PartII/...And this link seems to state that interest could be less than 5% if the account the deposits are held in don't make that much (what account does?)...

Here is a link to our meetup page and we also post about them on BP.http://www.meetup.com/PacificNWRealEstate/I hope to see you and Phil at our next meeting and hear about your progress.
