[quote=Anonymous]Curious to know what people are planning - do you intend to cover all or part of your DC's college costs? If so, how much do you have saved/are you saving and how old are your kids? What are your investment strategies? I'll start: I have a 6 year old DD for whom I hope to cover the full cost of any college. Right now, I have enough in her 529 to fund a 4-year public education (assuming account growth keeps pace with inflation). I go back and forth on whether to fund the 529 further (can't till next year due to a lump-sum payment); on the one hand, don't want to overfund if she goes the public route; on the other hand the tax savings might make up for the potential penalty. At the moment I'm putting another $500/month into a taxable account. I want her to have some skin in the game, though, so am debating making her take our some small loans that I will then pay back for her if she maintains a certain GPA. What is everyone else doing?
