Investing In 529 Plans

Back to first Five Things

Thing No. 6  

Maybe you have enough free miles.

Some of the investment banks have credit cards that deposit 2 percent of every purchase into a 529 up to $1500 per year.  (That shouldn't be too hard to rack up – it could pay for some books. Besides, it's getting damn near impossible to use those freaking miles anyway.) Apply for a Fidelity/MBNA credit card @ fidelity.com/planning/college

Thing No. 7  

Me first.

Make sure your retirement plan is covered first.  There are other ways to pay for college.  Not so much for retirement.
