Twelve grand will get you one year in a middle-sized state college. Maybe.
If she puts it to investment, by the time she goes to college, with college costs rising far above inflation, she’ll get two quarters of a year. She’ll actually lose in that scenario.
Hate to burst your bubble, Agnes. But at ten bucks a pizza, your $12,000 won’t buy you daily pizza for very long. Maybe 4 years at most, if you clip coupons.
They need a new used truck. Agnes – go and enable the poor. Give the money to Grandma She will put some aside for a rainy day. Like your community college and see if its cheaper to get a new used truck or have the old fixed.Oh and you might get eggs and bacon on Sunday instead of a pop tart.
