529 INVESTMENT FUNDS 
A 529 Plan may be a family's best investment tool to offset the increasing cost of college, especially for parents with children in elementary or middle schools. It is also a great place for parents or grandparents to add to a student's college savings account without the usual tax consequences.   For more information, see Chapter VI or Comparative Plans, College Savings and Vanguard.

 

RED FLAG ON IRAs AND 529s
Here’s a story regarding the misuse of IRAs and 529 plans when purchasing equipment and materials for college students.  Before you buy, read IRAs vs. IRS.
