Can I put college refund check back into a 529k plan?

16 May

My daughter just started college. To pay for it I’ve taken money out of her 529k plan to pay, however she received a partial scholarship at the last minute and the college sent us a check for the difference. Can I put that money back into my daughters 529k plan without incurring any tax penalty or obligation to inform the IRS of it?

How much do you set aside for your kid’s college fund every month?

10 May

Do you plan on paying the whole 4 years of their college or just some?
What plan do you use? For example, Gerber College Plan, 529, etc.
Thanks!

Have a large amount to invest where does the research begin?

01 May

Just wondering if anyone know any legit sites with good amounts of information on investing in general, types of investments, help with understanding the stock market, and planning a long term investment. (over 4 years) I keep running into sites that im having a hard time trusting. I’m in early 20′s and this $350k came to me unexpected, that is why im unprepared for this. Any help is appeciated.

How much should I save to have a good backup fund/savings?

22 Apr

My husband and I just had a baby (9 mo’s old) and we’ve been diligently saving ever since he was born just because. For an emergency plan, a buffer, and just b/c we like to combat materialism and waste.

Since last Sept. we’ve saved about 2.5 months worth of take-home pay, and by this Dec. we’ll have saved over 3.5 months of take-home pay. We did this by saving 90-95% of extra paychecks, bonuses, tax refunds, etc. I have it earning interest in an ING acct.

Since we’ve never really saved before, should we strive for a certain % of our take-home pay (or month’s worth), or do you just keep saving with no goal amount in mind?

Your input is appreciated.
