Re: How much to save for kids' college? And what about life insurance?
I forgot all about scholarships and tuition remission. I work in higher education, so I may be able to get a job that will pay for a portion of his education even if he doesn't go to the school I work for. But I'm not going to bank on that, because I think those deals are probably going the way of the pension and the dinosaur, and DS won't start college til 2021 or thereabouts.
As for scholarships, I really hope he gets some, but I'm not counting on it. I myself got great scholarships for grad school. Less for undergrad--I think I had a scholarship my last 2 years of undergrad for 2K each year. It was great free money, but not enough to make me count on my son getting the same thing.
