Investing for College

[Landshark]

Smart move, Dave, if you want to leave the option open for your child to go to college outside of the state of Florida.

Quite a few of my students are on the Florida Prepaid College Plan.  It is a very good plan, but like your advisor said, it limits you to state funded universities and community colleges in Florida.

Update: I signed up for a 529 plan.  I'm withholding $350/month.  That still, according to the estimates I've seen, is going to leave me way short of cost estimates.  However, what I read says that you should plan to save some, borrow some with loans, and try to apply for aid to get everything together.

So, we'll see.
