I must really be in nesting mode. I got an email offer for a new hotel in Vegas that has not one but three LCD TVs in every suite plus a host of other amenities, and my only reaction was, so what? Right now I can think of many other things to do with $200 than to blow it on one night at a luxury hotel. Like open a college savings account for baby number 3.
Today Kevin and I went to the bank and maxed out the contributions for Alex and Ana's college savings accounts for the year. If we max out our contributions every year, which we've been doing since both kids were infants, by the time they hit age 18, we'll have contributed 6-digits towards their college education.
It sounds more impressive than it really is. Seeing how college costs keep rising, that could very well be just one year's tuition. I do take solace in the fact that at least we're saving
something though.
The other thing I've been doing is taking fish oil capsules and eating tuna regularly. Eating fish during pregnancy is supposed to help with the baby's brain development. You can always go to college on student loans, but you can't go without a brain.
