COLLEGE PLANNING

I'm off to the bank this morning to discuss some options for college with my financial planner. The rising costs of college is frightening. We've been saving for college my son's whole life (he's 16) and I'm afraid it doesn't even cover one year of school. (It's didn't help that the stock market crashed either.)

We went and visited Washington University in St. Louis this summer and the sticker price is around $60,000 a year. Yikes!
