re: Those with children: how much are you saving per child for college?

I have a 2 & 3 and put $210/month each in the La Start 529 Plan. They match a percentage up to $2500 per year.

I also match any birthday or Christmas money they get from relatives into the plan while putting the cash into a standard savings plan.

If I ever manage to get a return on my taxes again I would likely put that in those accounts also.
