- I am considering purchasing U.S. Savings Bonds as part of a plan to save for
- my 1 yr. old daughter's college expenses. I am unsure of whether I should
- purchase the bonds in my name or in my child's name. I would appreciate any
- explanation of the advantages and disadvantages of either choice.
-
- If it makes a difference, I already have a small amount invested in a mutual
- fund in the child's name. I plan to continue contributing to this also.
- But I want to balance it with some conservative investment also.
-
- (And the amount I am investing is relatively small. Most private schools
- will be out of our range and I don't expect to have enough to cover all her
- college expenses.)
-
- thanks,
- anne
