Know what makes me hyperventilate? Thinking about paying for my son's college education someday. It's getting insanely expensive, like maybe-I-should-be-a-banker-instead-of-a-writer expensive. Will I be able to provide my son with a quality education -- no matter where he wants to go? Will I have to take out a loan? Will he? I would worry more, but one of the first things we did after my son's birth was set up a 529 savings account. Thanks to some seed money from my grandmother -- thanks, Grandma! -- we got started right away. And we've been adding to it, little by little, ever since. Here's why I think a 529 should be a priority for every family.![]()
