Grom surf contracts - DONE
- Thread starter casa_mugrienta
- Start date
I think I started when my kid was 8 or so. I put in 200.00 a month but also had a fidelity credit card that paid 2% back right into the 529. It covered almost the whole expense.
Not saving for your kids' college education if you can is a major parent fail.
Great just what we need more wanna be pro transplants at rincon And sandspit taking ig pics.And going to school at ccreally means partying on the mesa
Kid rips, I had seen him in person on the North Shore and thought he looked built for the CT.
I didn't say SB was a good choice! Just that he's bailing on a surf career to go to college when he previously had the backing by Oneill to pursue the tour.
Had a good friend in middle and high school who was groomed to be a golfer, like tiger. He has a picture of the 2 of them when they were 12, my buddy holding the 1st place trophy, tiger holding 2nd. He won cif in 11th grade, then burnt out. Stopped practicing. Should've repeated in 12th, but finished 2nd. Got scouted by the UCLA coach, which got him into ucla, priority registration w all the athletes. Decided not to try out for the team as a walk on, and got to stay in school there. Wouldn't have gotten in otherwise. Lucky burn out.
not sure about anyone else but 100-200 bucks a month to cover a college education? we've been doing that and I think we may be able to cover the books
22 years of $100/month compounded at 7% will yield $59k. Which won’t cover sleep away camp college but it will at least cover Cal State tuition or the last 2 years as a JC/UC transfer.
Just hope the crash doesn’t hit when you need to start cashing it out

Not sure about that....higher education is a business model (and as enabled by the student loan industry, practically a scam) and certainly not necessary to enable your kids to become successful adults.
Well, yeah, but you can keep contributing as you start withdrawing. You don’t have to pay for all 4 years in advance22 years? my kids will go to college at 18

As a father of two kids in college, I can tell you that $100/mo. for 18 years in a 529 will NOT cover more than 2 years of college(unless you're talking about a JC)

Certainly not all in. Although Cal State tuition is still under $10k (barely under for some lol). It’s doable if they live at home.As a father of two kids in college, I can tell you that $100/mo. for 18 years in a 529 will NOT cover more than 2 years of college(unless you're talking about a JC)
If you're only paying $100/mo for kid's sports, you're killing it... Or only having them play AYSO soccer once/week.
Sign your life away to Uncle Sam and make it a career. You can give your GI bill to your children. It's like a different form of prostitution.
