Default 529 programs
Does anyone have anything good or bad to say about 529 programs to pay for grandchildren(s) college tuition, etc. I have 4 grandchildren ranging from 16 down to 2. I have talked with a couple of financial guys in TV and they don't seem to be interested in selling this type of program. I suspect that it does not pay a very good commission. I know that we would incur penalties if the child does not go on to higher education but I don't think that this will be the case. If anyone has any pro's or con's regarding 529s please pass the on. Thank you.
