Does anyone know of a 529 plan that works well in Colorado and if necessary elsewhere in US?

02-01-2009 07:33 PM

Hi,

 

I am planning to start investing in a 529 plan for my daughter's college education. 

 

Does anyone know of a 529 plan that works well in Colorado and if necessary elsewhere in US? Website information would be great.

 

Basically, I'd like to be able to pay for my daughter's college expenses if she joins a University here in Colorado or elsewhere in US. 

 

This is the first time I'm investing in a 529 plan and don't have much idea on how it works. So, please advise if I should know of anything else before I sign-on to a 529 plan.

 

Thanks,

Sri

I invested $10,000 in the 529 stock plan but due to the stock market decline it is now worth $5,600 just one year later. Bummer. You may want to discuss your goals with an investment professional.

go to www.collegeinvest.com   it is the colorado 529, then you can invest it the way you want.  you might want to choose more conservative accounts though, so you dont go backwards.
