We put a nice chunk from an inheritance back when the oldest was maybe 8 or 9? Can't remember. Due to the diligence and work ethic of the oldest, didn't spend much on him at all ... didn't even take it out of the 529 as we had the cash needed ($500/600 per semester maybe). Child #3 ought to be ok scholly wise which is a great thing as Child #2 may use a good bit of what we have in 529. He'll have TOPS but more than likely not the extra schollys that older brother/younger sister will have. He's not into nearly the extra curriculars that the others are.
yeah we will have TOPS if we stay in state as well. Might be some other programs available as well. I can always pay some of the difference. That's the plan. They help themselves and I will help them. I do not want them swamped in student loan debt. no need for that.

I'm guessing our oldest is pretty appreciative ... he's now on a grad assistantship at LSU and every time I ask if he needs money or to go grocery or clothes shopping he says "I'm good" ... damn boy, I'm trying to give you money! lol Guess I should be grateful but it's the mom in me ...
