Tara was born Tuesday evening in the middle of a thunderstorm. She has a birth defect, her right foot is turned at a right angle to her leg. We expected that and since all the toes are there, it is medically fixable so she'll be able to hike when she's old enough. She was 4 lb, 6 oz., 17 3/4 inches. A little small, I expect she'll be in the hospital for a few weeks. Another step is taken in the journey of my life.

Open a collage fund of some sort for the kid.
I opened a UGMA fund for my kid as soon as she got her SSN. I asked that all first gifts were contributions to the collage fund. When my daughter got her B.S. degree she did not have a debt to pay off.

Open a collage fund of some sort for the kid. And that should be "you" or the grandparents should open the fund. That way, the money in the 529 will not need to be reported when the student, and her parents apply for financial aid. Mazel tov! |
