Funniest Things!
 
One summer evening during a thunderstorm a mother was tucking her small boy into bed. She was about to turn off the light when he asked with a tremor in his voice, "Mommy, will you sleep with me tonight?" The mother smiled and gave him a reassuring hug. "I can't, dear," she said. "I have to sleep in Daddy's room." A long silence was broken at last by his shaky little voice: "The big sissy."

Saving for Your Child's Education
 
baby proof
Better sit down. Experts say that someone born in 2003 and entering a public college or university in 2021 can expect to shell out $95,000 for an undergraduate degree. A private college may run upwards of $240,000. Although there are several college savings plans to choose from, the 529 plan is a standout. In addition to providing a means of establishing a regular savings program for you, there are big tax advantages--namely that your investment grows tax-free until the child enters college and can then be withdrawn untaxed to pay tuition. Take steps now to ease the future shock of college costs.
