    Great info everyone! I'm not trying to hijack the thread, but I have a related 529 question.

    Is your child required to attend a school within the state of the 529 plan? Or can the plan be used anywhere? For example, if I start a 529 plan for my kids through Georgia, are they required to go to a university in Georgia?

    Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

But for the life of me I can't seem to find the article. It was in business week or marketwatch, morningstar etc, one of those I look at for stock info. And you don't have to invest in the 529 plan in the state you live in.

    A good reason to utilize this investment path for kids:

    Student Loan Interest Rate increase July 1st
    THIS IS WHERE I WOULD PUT SOMETHING TO REPRESENT MY THINKING, BUT THEN THEY SHOW UP!

    My daughter collected her spending money by joining Army ROTC - then they eventually paid for her MBA.
