For most of us, being able to pay for our child’s education is a dream. It’s not always possible, but we can only try our hardest to provide for them as young adults.

Not only have we considered them, we have savings plans for both kids-any monetary gifts they receive go directly into their accounts, plus they get a contribution from each paycheck
I have a college savings plan set up for my oldest already, and I hope to start one for my baby girl soon.

I’ve considered a savings plan, but it hasn’t gotten much further. Thanks for the reminder and the option with Gerber.
I really need to, I think about it every time I see the commercials!
We have a savings plan in place for both of our girls! It’s never too early to start!

Can I get it for my college education now??
The answer would be no, but only because I don’t have kids!

We’ve started saving for both kids. Not a ton yet, but every little bit helps!

We started savings plans for our children when they were born. Our daughter recently used her savings plan to pay for her wedding.
I would love to have a savings plan for my children but there’s just not enough money to do so

Too late for my kids, but I did start a 529 plan for my new granddaughter.
Of course but I’m broke

We haven’t really thought about a savings plan for our daughter yet
We’ve just started saving for our daughter!
Not a formal plan, but when the Gabs was just a few months old we opened up a saving account for her. I suppose we also have UPromise…though I’m not sure that is still around! I really ought to check…

I would love to start a saving plan for my kids!
nope, we’re broke
We have started a savings plan.
I have a regular savings account, but I’ve thought about getting something better.
havent started saving yet
I don’t have kids but it would be something I would think about if I did
I have considered, but we haven’t had any extra money yet
Definitely. It’s something that’s a really high priority for us.
We keep trying to get something going for them.
yes for future children
I did use a college savings plan for my sons. I live in Texas and we had the Texas Tomorrow Fund, a prepaid college tuition plan. It was wonderful! My oldest son just graduated from college last May and my youngest just started college this Fall. It is such a relief knowing that his tuition is paid for!
not yet, we are still ttc!
yes i have considered it
amy16323(at)gmail(dot)com
yes and they have one
ardelong2(at)gmail(dot)com
That is something we still need to set up.
I have and they have one already!
Yes! Our two oldest have the 2+2 program (four years of college paid in full) via the Florida Prepaid College Savings plan.
Dear Hanan,
On behalf of Reading Is Fundamental (RIF), thank you for supporting Project Open Book.

In low-income neighborhoods in the U.S., there’s only one book for every 300 children. For many RIF kids, their RIF book is their only book.
