re: Louisiana TOPS Funding Uncertainties

Have any of ya'll ramped up savings in 529 plans or other vehicles for your children with all the uncertainty with the funding of TOPS and eligibility requirements?

No.

But I am of the opinion that my kids will either get a scholarship to go to college, or, they will get financial aid in the form of loans, etc. They may also go to junior college for a year or two if needed.

Now, if I was able to fully max out my retirement and still had money left over, then maybe I would consider doing this.

But I can always help them when they get to college if needed, or pay back some of their loans.

I feel like college is a time of learning. That includes taking responsibility for their own education. I will certainly help them, but I'm not writing a check for their total college costs.
