Default Re: Anyone here saving for college?

As for when you get the childs ssn I think it all depends my oldest daughters took forever they had lost the information at the hospital going to wherever so I had to go refile for it a huge mess!! Then my other 2 kids came really fast.

Anyways as for saving for my kids we are dh put $10 a week into the two youngests accounts & I put any CS into oldest dd's. I figure since having money will only hurt them they can actually use the money to buy a car when they turn 16 if they choose at least that way they have transportation too & from school. Not that I know if they will qualify for assistance but I dont want to hurt them by having too much saved because I did that to myself when I was younger I always had to much saved to ever qualify & it was my own fault for saving!!

By the time my oldest goes to college I will be back working FT so if she needs help for school I will help her but I also expect them to at least do something pt to help out while in college. BUt I will also let them live at home while they are in school.
