Rain Rain

so it is a really dreary Sat. morning. All little league and softball games have been postponed. Seems like a good time to start organizing things on the financial front. I just opened up 529 plans for my two children. I am really late doing this as they are now 10 and 8. That has always been my problem when it comes to financial planning and savings. I have good intentions, do the necessary research and prep, but procrastinate when it comes to pulling the trigger. I have been meaning to do these accounts for years, but have just now Finally done it. Now that it is done we will move to grow the accounts as quickly as possible. I have set them both up for automatic deposits everymonth of $100 per kid and will add extra whenever possible. Thank goodness for automatic contributions and for 401k auto savings. This is the only I am able to maintain any sense of discipline.
