mom_of_2 is absolutely correct. Make sure that you take care of your own retirement first. There are many variables regarding your kids' educations: they might not go to college; they might go to a public university which is more affordable; they might get scholarships or grants. That's a lot of unknowns. It's a lot more certain that you will reach retirement age. Also, if you have an IRA, you can draw down early from that IRA without penalty if you make that drawdown for education. Also, you don't want to leave your retirement in such a poor state that your children have to support you. It defeats the purpose of trying to do what's best for your children.
If you've taken care of retirement and still have money left over for investing in your childrens' education, you have a number of options: 529 college savings plans, education savings accounts (ESAs, formerly education IRAs, and other options). What works best for you in part is determined by the laws of the state where you live governing 529 plans. Get yourself an education on the at the Vanguard Web site. Good luck. |

Well I'm in the same boat and what i've found is that first of all you need to be saving 20%of your income each year for your own retirement and anything after that you could put into a 529 plan and/or an ESA. The reason for this is that you can't take out a loan for your own retirement but you could for your child's college education.
Check out savingforcollege.com it rates the best 529s in the country (each state offers one but you can invest in any of them) and gives you information about investment companies that offer ESA's ( Education Savings Accounts)
You can invest $2,000 a year in a coverdell and then put the rest into a 529. |

Thane that was a Will Rogers quote
Go meet with a financial advisor. Meet with as many of them as you need to until you find someone who listens to your goals, needs and wants. Then follow that person's advice. Expect to pay a fee.
No one can give you the best way to save unless you want to post all of your personal financial information on this website - age, income, assets etc. |

The best way is to educate yourself about money - making it, investing it, getting it back. Only once you understand investing, can you evaluate other people's advice.
As one of the answerers said, you need to have a personalised game plan. Read a couple of financial literacy books, I have always enjoyed Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Poor Dad, and have no qualms in recommending them.
Some general guidelines - firstly get rid of bad debt - i.e. debt which you have not used to buy an asset to generate a return for you.
Set up a game plan for your circumstances, with a person that you trust to give good financial advice.
Then, in accordance with your plan, start investing in assets that YOU understand.
Then keep learning. |

IRA is for retirement so ignore for this. Can barely keep up with inflation just earning interest so have to realize going to have go into some sort of equity investment once you make it up to $1000 or so. Utilities & Reits pay high dividends and - once interest rates stop being raised - should help. Reit - Real Estate Investment Trust - trades like a stock. CDS in a bank will leave you short of any goal. Feel free to e-mail to this yahoo id any further qs. |

Twain said: I'm not so much interested on the return ON my money as I am on the return OF my money.
In other words, don't be too risky. If you don't have a couple thousand dollars, it might be hard to open a mutual fund account at Schwab or Fidelity. So start by saving $100 a month in a savings account for a year or two. Once you have $2,500, then go to Fidelity and open a mutual fund account in a long term Growth fund. |
