Summary of How to Invest for College

Saving for college is fraught with anxiety for most of us because the cost has gotten so high over the years. It’s not unheard-of for a four-year degree to cost as much as a fine English luxury car, and then you never know whether it will be put to productive use afterward.

Thankfully, Uncle Sam has seen the light and opened up a lot of possibilities to give us a head start. These head starts should be seen as part of a larger world of possibilities—meaning that grants, scholarships and loans should fill out the rest. Good luck on your investing, and don’t be afraid to seek a financial planner for help.
