Should I start a college fund for my kids?

Asked 5 years ago

I am not sure I want to start one because there's always a chance they will end up not going, and then there's a penalty. What have you guys done? I want to start a small investment account for them. Thanks!

Should your kid fail to go to college you can avoid penalties on your 529 plan. Here's how:

  • Give the fund to another family member who wants to go to college
  • Use the fund later when the beneficiary goes to graduate school
  • Use the fund to further your own education
  • Pay for a grandchild in future
