Us being millionaires did not hurt their obtaining free rides. No student loans, in fact they ended up graduating with a nice amount of cash saved up they earned working while in school. It’s possible, or it was just a few years ago.

I have learned from this and agree it’s a great way to save for my children’s college tuition.

Great article and detail on how to pay for it!

Take care of yourself 100% first, then if you are good, you can help pay tuition. But I wouldn’t sacrifice your emergency fund for it.

While just sitting in a low interest bank savings acct., should it be invested in stock to try and gain revenue or put into Tap529 college savings fund acct that’s already established?
