      Our son is in college and we still contribute to the 529 while drawing from it.

        Just a side note. Open 529 plan as soon your child is born. Front load contributions in the first 10 years, then you can stop and not contribute anymore.

        Then let compound interest do its job.

          Apply for scholarships NOW! Our daughter applied for 42 and was awarded 4! One scholarship they had 8 people apply!

          Most kids won’t even try! Google scholarships!

          Best Buy, Kohls, Marriott Hotels, credit unions! So many more!

          Yes, takes a lot of work but as I told my daughter, scholarships pay more than babysitting!
