Smart Ways to Save for College

College tuition continues to increase and has exceeded inflation over the past several decades. Current parents of an infant and toddler will see a combined cost of tuition at $360,000 by the time their children attend college. Is there help out there to finance one of the biggest expenses for parents?
The good news is there are a variety of state-sponsored investment programs with tax benefits that help families save for college (including the First Family).  Kiplinger’s Personal Finance shares the programs that are out there, including:
·         529 Savings Plans (the plan Mr. and Mrs. Obama use)
·         Prepaid Plans
·         Coverdells
·         Roth IRAs
·         Custodial Accounts
