Do plan on doing travel when we can, no issues taking the kids out of school for a couple weeks to go hit up Korea, Japan, Vietnam, France, NZ, etc... I feel that will be better for education for them anyways as opposed to sitting in class learning about different cultures, they can experience it.
When the kids have grown up, would love to live on a beach in a place like Vietnam - enjoy the beach life, amazing food, CHEAP, and come back to Canada for our medical stuff.

That's cool.
I've kind of put on myself a goal of coming up with down payments for the kids' houses, so that'll keep me working an extra year or two beyond just covering my own needs. I really want them to graduate debt free and then be able to get into a house as soon as they're ready to settle.
It sucks young people have all these expenses to get set up in life (university, house, car) during their low-earning years. If I can take away that from my kids, hopefully they'll pay it forward for their kids, and we'll remove some stress from future generations in my family until some prick decides to become an alcoholic and blow their advantages. Hopefully that'll be after I'm gone, though.
