I hope to have enough saved by the time they reach 18 and head to college. have you heard of the services that put money into your 529 from shopping online like upromse? little grad? baby mint?

I had been thinking about them for some time. It's a little too early for me to plan kids at this stage and I think I'm more or less done with school, so it's good to know there are other reasons to look into it. I will have to investigate further. Thanks for the outstanding start on 529s. I had been thinking about them for some time.

As it turns out, my employer covered all the costs of my degree so I didn't have to dip into it. Thanks to the ability of the 529 to change beneficiaries, I plan on converting it over to my new son to give him a head start on college savings! I guess the moral of the story is if you plan on having kids someday, open a 529 and start contributing to it today! Of course, after you fund your retirement account, as we know, you can't get a grant for retirement :( I opened a 529 when I started studying for my Masters several years ago and contributed to it regularly.
