I was just playing around with a calculator to see if I'm on track. voice-verified

for saving enough for my son's college education. voice-verified

And to be quite honest, not really, you know, but he still is going to have a good chunk of money for me to give to him. voice-verified

And I'll continue to increase the contributions as I go along. voice-verified

Something else I wish that I did was open an UTMA or UGMA account for him earlier during the pandemic. voice-verified

When some of us got that stimulus check, I opened an account for him and put that in there and it's more than doubled now. voice-verified

So that's just to remind you guys the importance of saving early. voice-verified

And I remember voice-verified

I remember back in the day when I was single and childless, I was talking to this guy who was trying to date me, and I remember him going, oh, I already have a savings account for my future kids. voice-verified

And I was like, what, who are you, an angel? voice-verified

So yes, just an example of how good it can be to start saving now. voice-verified

As Sean said earlier, having those sinking funds, it's not too early to start a sinking fund for child care, a sinking fund for anything for your kid, even just regular baby expenses, everyday expenses. voice-verified

Heck, you guys may need date nights. voice-verified

Do a date night sinking fund, whatever. voice-verified

But it's just not too early to start saving. voice-verified

I am using a 529 and I was lucky for anyone listening out there, my son is on the spectrum. voice-verified

So look out there for grants. voice-verified

I somehow came across grants in a mom group. voice-verified

And luckily, I don't know how I missed that I received the grant. voice-verified
