Being the youngest child by eight years has its perks. You get to watch everybody else go through life and learn from their mistakes. Through multiple sources the message has come in loud and clear that understanding how to save for your children’s education is important. In this four part series I am going to cover my journey in understanding the options that are available to us all. I hope this helps a lot of people since for some reason we keep producing these little mongrels and feel some obligation to prepare them for adulthood.

The first rule of saving for anything is to start NOW!! College is coming and kids grow up fast. I have a niece who will be turning 16 in January. The time has gone by so fast and it is hard to believe that little girl is only four years younger than her mother was when she got married (if any of you felt a wince, it came from my brother).

So now that you have separated some money in your budget for college savings where should we put it? Tomorrow we will look at one of the best choices for making that college money grow.
