I was disappointed in this book.  It did give some basics, however, some of the statistics were outdated.  I got on Google and found more updated information myself.The savings methods were decent, but I can't help but wonder if there are additional methods since the other information is outdated.There are some things not mentioned as well.  Since there are so many ways for students to pay for college, i.e., loans, grants, scholarships, financial aid, etc., I personally think it's best to think more about investing for your retirement.  Not saying you should not save for your kids, but you don't need to be paying for their entire education at the risk of impacting saving for your own retirement.I also think more attention should be paid to the fact that keeping funds in a child's name can greatly impact their chances for being granted financial aid.Not worth the read.
