We both contribute the max 401K allowed(we are both just over 55 so it's considerably more than standard) and no kids whom are dependents. Believe me we took a long look at the financial aspects. Now in 6 years when she's retired(she'll retire early I have to recoup the 500+K I lost in 2001 from my SEP IRA still) maybe then. But today we are what the IRS looks for deep pockets minimal write offs to boost up those who do not pay. BTW before anyone says get more write offs like a home I have one with a $3500/month mortgage and pretty high property taxes. You need to make a lot more to afford to write off more and we'd rather travel and enjoy the "fruits" of our labors.

how about the 2007 loss
