[quote=Anonymous]You really can't tell your sibling how to spend/save their money. It's nice for you to gift what you can for your niece/nephew but if the parents aren't motivated to save they will have to figure it out with aid. You can be a source of support, knowledge and encouragement when it comes to applying to college, if that's what they want. They may not, in which case they might want to use the 529 money for a certificate program or AA degree. My ILs generally think college is a waste of money because most people they know who started college dropped out (DH being one of the exceptions). None of their 3 kids went to college but all (now late 20s-early 30s) are gainfully employed, one with his own business. Two own houses in their low-COL city. There's more than one path.[/quote]
