The way we arranged it with our kids was that they had a set fund of money that they could spend how they wished. If they went to a public university, they'd have money left over. If they went private, they'd have to work their butts off and take out loans. They certainly could have gone military and used the money for something else later in life (less some relatively minor penalties for not using 529 money for education). Regardless, the money was theirs. Fortunately, neither of them decided to go out and buy a muscle car.Today, any person in America that wants to go to college free can. ANY PERSON! Not doing so is a choice. A choice either made by the parents or by the individual themselves. Both of my children went to college for free. Now I get to spend their college savings account...
