pit, talk to me about college savings. i don't want this to be one of those threads that winds up with everybody complaining about how expensive wake is. i'm honestly wondering about how people save or plan to save for kids' college funds.
1. did you start saving when your kid was born? before the kid was born? is your kid 15 and you still haven't started saving?
2. do you have a set amount that gets saved each month, or do you just put in what you can each month?
3. are you saving enough for private school, or just public?
4. what assumptions do you use when trying to determine how much needs to be saved? like what % do you use for inflation? what kind of return do you expect to get on your savings?
