Sports Talk: NASCAR Driver Hank Parker Jr. Has the Same Investment Plan as Me

With his racing days behind him Hank Parker has taken to other American pastimes, at least until the next election, those being hunting and religion. He also spends quite a bit of time with his family, his wife Wendy, daughters Alex, 4, and Madison, 3, and nine-month-old Andrew. Parker has big plans for Andrew, 'big' being the keyword.

"He's a tank," Parker said. "He weighed 25 pounds at three months old. He's gonna be my retirement account. He's already got a football, and I'm teaching him how to hold on to it."

This sounds suspiciously like my own retirement plan. I'm throwing every ball, musical instrument, and frivolous lawsuit I can at my kids in hope something lucrative sticks.

That's a little something I like to call sound planning.

Wish us all luck.
