Would it be a good idea to open State Financial Aid resources to Illegal Immigrant kids attending college?

28 Dec

Think about it!

If a lot of those illegal immigrant children end up getting Bachelor’s or Master’s degrees, it becomes even more painful and costly for the US economy to have them deported.

Their skills and educational investment could quickly be turned into an asset (rather than a liability) if they were amnestied and given a shot at the American Dream.

I think it’s a good idea. They’ll go to college and get degrees and be even more loyal and patriotic to the government that gave them a shot at decent, productive lives.

Open a Coverdell or 529?

14 Jul

I asked this same question the other day and didn’t get much of a response. Maybe it’s just not a very exciting question…lol.

I’m due any day now with my first child. I want to open a college savings account as soon as I have a SS#. I can’t afford to put much in…maybe a total of $1,000 a year. Would you recommend Coverdell of 529? Why?

Is it now a good time to open a 529 plan for a (near) future kid?

17 Jun

The future kid is pretty much a given in 1-2 years (1st and probably last one as well). Stock values are low but volatile. I have some cash in savings (not too much), and pay taxes on it. Wonder what is the smart thing to do.

What is a good online bank I can open a college savings plan through?

25 May

I would like to open a college account, with applicable tax benefits, if possible, through an online bank to put $ in a MMA or CDs (this is to supplement our 529 for our oldest child). Where is a good online bank to do so?
