I have a real dilemma. My question is, is it a good strategy for me to plough my efforts into making my sons fastlane millionaires, rather than myself?

Here's my thoughts and concerns:
  • I am now 56. I feel I should have discovered the Millionaire fastlane at least 20 years ago.
  • I have had a successful career. I've earned well and I am in the 5% (not the 1%!).
  • I have 3 properties that I let in Oxford, UK.
  • I have a solid plan to retire in 2025 / 2026 with $10k a month of income and no debt.
So for me, it feels that moving to the fast lane is too late for me. But I do have 2 sons - 17 and 24. I have been thinking a lot whilst reading the book that I should help my sons get into the fast lane by developing a business with them / for them. So instead of building a business for me, I could invest my time in building one for them. I do have a couple of business ideas.

Any advice you can give would be really appreciated!
