By the time your kids are of age, college prices will more than likely double what you expect them to be today.

Why does there seem to be a great fear of not having sufficient assets to pay for a child's higher education expenses 10, 15, or 18 years down the road?


Because there are few people taking in enough cash to pay ~15k per child per year in addition to current expenses.

So that screams for saving. And savings stockpiles of that size get big advantages from being in a tax sheild.

Is your tax rate really that high? Where is the relative understanding of income tax rates? Will you retire in a lower tax bracket? How do you get into a lower tax bracket? Who controls this "tax shielded" account?

Research assets held to loans or grants available for a student.
