Thanks Shane - I had not seen it, and it looks like a great idea! I think one of the big issues, which is buried in my original post, is what I took from watching my daughter try to navigate her way through the budgeting process for college. She could spend $X per year at this college and not need to work during school, or spend $Z amount (a larger sum) and have to work during school to make up the gap. She really had no idea what sort of expense college was, and the thought of $30K was absolutely beyond her scope of thinking ... she just couldn't believe that a car can cost less than that. So, it took her a good 2 years to figure out how to invest in her future -- where did she want to put her money? So, the "personal finance class" bit is really important too -- it's hard for kids to grasp the expense of school. Thanks for reading!
