Do you have a 529 plan for your child?

17 Jul

If so, how much do you contribute monthly or annually? And how old is your child?

We have one set-up and are trying to budget a reasonable amount, but it just seems so high…Just wondering how much others put in.
A 529 Plan is a college savings plan that your contribute to for your children’s education.

What is the best investment route for a child?

28 Apr

Can a child be listed on a mutual fund account? I have 2 sons and want to get them into investing now at an early age so they will learn how to manage their money and not have to struggle like I did. I see there are college funds and then there are custodial accounts. Which enviornment is best for the child to learn and actually make money in?

Can a couple invest money in a 529 Plan long before a child is born? Any other options?

01 Jan

While I am 31, not married, and without kids, I wonder if a person can start investing money in this plan prior to having a child. A little unsure. As my boyfriend and I are making serious moves towards marriage and having children, I have began to wonder what financial moves can we take early on (once we’re married, of course).

My grandma keeps telling me she is going to get my child gerber life insurance?

12 Oct

She is old, and not very “there”.
Now, I know enough about money to know that life insurance on a kid is a horrendous idea.
You are better off putting the money in a savings account.
Plus, we have money in a savings for this.

Why is she so darn instant.
it’s every single converstation almost.
How do I say NO – so she remembers this?
Are all grandmas like this?
Or is she just getitng junk mail and then thinking about her grandchildren?

I wish she would say – does your kid have a 529 plan?
Can I donate money to it?
How can I bring up this idea?
Do I just say give us the money instead so we can save it for college?
Would you just give up and let her open this insurance policy just to make her happy?

What is the best investment to made on behalf of a one-year old child?

05 Oct

I have a one-year old God-child, and for a birthday present I would like to make an investment that will be the beginning of a college fund. But, I am concerned that the parents might, if finding themselves in dire straits, cash in the present if possible, say for instance in the case of savings bonds and other investments that can be cashed in early. Is there an investment that must mature a mandatory number of years before it is possible to cash it it?
Thanks for your help
