Nothing against Steven Evans, I'm sure he's a great guy.  This book is a small eBook. The information about saving for your child's education is an important topic, however, this book makes it seem easier than it really is. Not enough coverage in 'each' aspect, some areas are covered more than others and it is not that simple or that cut and dry.  It is daunting to know that if you don't have a huge amount of money and knowledge of investments, or needy enough to qualify for grants, then you basically get taxed out the proverbial buttocks or penalized.  Hmm. therefore, if you are wealthy or poor you can save money and not have it taxed and not have it count against you, your child can still get grants and aid plus have this money. But, middle class, if your child wont qualify for grants or assistance and can go to college either by the parents savings, which is taxed or their merits, like a scholarship (academics or athletics) then there is no coverage... You make too much and you don't make enough... You are not wealthy or poor/needy enough.... You don't qualify for this cut and that exemption so ten percent tax for you. Now send your kid to college on this.  Oh, you want to move your money somewhere else, then you will be penalized. There is always a tax or a penalty.  Nonetheless, it is not always that cut and dry. I felt the mark was missed. Not a horrible book. Short and a good read, just not explanatory enough to ensure accurate understanding of each situation.
