Quotes to ponder:
"Funds in a 529 Plan grow federal tax-free and will not be taxed when the money is withdrawn for qualified education expenses."
"There are a myriad of situations that can arise in the future such as the death of a child, the receipt of full academic or athletic scholarships, or the receipt of employer educational assistance."
"Your child can take out a loan for school, you however cannot take out a loan for your retirement."
