Not bad if you have 10-14 years+ active and don't want to do any more mil. The investment is very attractive. The IRR coloring book folks spend maybe 20-30 hours a year doing the courses. Even at 10 years in the IRR, that works out to a a hell of a return on investment at 60. Not a screw job at all.
300 hours of work or less and plenty of beer money at 60 till you croak!
