Great work, Jeff. What about co-mingling retirement assets with education assets in a Roth don’t you like? I think it could act as a good deterrent to parents who get overly eager to help with a child’s education at the cost of their own retirement goals. When you can see the education funds as a direct offset to your retirement goals, it may help in making a better decision.

529’s are awesome. They are even better Christmas/Holiday presents for grandchildren than toys. I finally got the grandparents converted to give $25 a month in a 529 to our daughter instead a glut of new toys. Between two grandparents that is $50 a month or $600 a year. Add that up over 14 years and interest and we’ve got a nice little head start (plus what we are adding as well). In Utah we have an awesome 529 plan, just google it and check it out. Low costs! Come on grandpa and grandma’s….stop the toys and start the 529’s for the kiddo’s.

Wow, I had no idea life insurance could be that inexpensive. As a a singleton with no dependents I haven’t really spent much time thinking about it. But good to know for the future.
