it's called the grow up plan

it's basically life insurance for Tianna, till she's 21 it doubles and she can cash it out or something of that nature.

or should i just open an account and just put money in there every month lol (i am so tempted i might spend it LOL)

anyone have this or anything like this for their kids? should i apply?
I don't know about this but some states have a 529 plan just for college funds .... and I believe they are tax deferred an NO tax paid if used for education.

I used the old method, I refinanced .. and NOW she wants to go for her MA in Elem Ed. So here I go again .... hope this helped you somewhat!
