    Default 529s for college?

    Does anyone have this for their kids college?

    I recently got a savings bond worth $1200 and thought I would split it between my kids and start their college fund.

    I think once my husband gets a couple days off we'll go down to the bank and get this done. Can grandparents make deposits too, or just parents?
