[quote=Anonymous]You are putting a lot of eggs in one basket if you count on her sailing though school and getting a scholarship. Here's a partial list of things that can go wrong: * she gets sick * you get sick * she does drugs * she underachieves because she feels like it (or maybe because of the pressure of being the kid you didn't save for) * she develops some emotional or psychiatric issue that makes school success difficult and life expensive. * she is gifted, but prefers sports or painting * the political climate makes merit money less available. * she gets a free-ride at A but you prefer school B Just worry about developing who she is and continue to save. I don't know what will happen exactly, but I can be sure she will surprise you and not always in a good way. I know this because that's what teens do.[/quote]
