Over the past few months, my husband and I have discussed our desires to start saving for our children’s education. Not knowing where exactly to begin, we decided to make a list of important questions we have been pondering in relation to different aspects of saving for our children’s future. Are you constantly thinking about your child’s educational future? Here are 10 questions we found important!
10 Questions You Should Be Asking About Saving For Your Child’s Education
1. When should I start saving?
2. What can I start doing NOW to save?
3. How do I teach my children the importance of saving money?
4. How much money do I need to save?
5. What types of saving options are available to my family?
6. Saving for my child’s education seems complicated. Where do I start?
7. Why is it so important to save for college?
8. How does saving money now affect my financial future?
9. How can my children start saving their own money for college?
10. What is the best saving option available for my family’s current financial situation?

These are great questions. Many of us don't think about this until later on and it's a mistake. We were lucky that our daughter received a Million $$$ Scholarship (Gates Scholar - Microsoft and Buick) and is attending the school of her dreams: NYU Tandom School of Engineering.

I am definitely worried about this. We haven't really started yet and our son is 8!

Right now, we pay for our kids to go to a private school so we cannot save too much for them. I do however, put aside all gift money they receive into a bank account.

It is so important to start early. We have been and we are happy we will be able to put a dent in it at least.

I always worry we're not saving enough for our kids' education! College is just getting more and more expensive!
