Invest In Our Children?

I wouldn't invest any time looking at your website.  This is an inappropriate ad.

It depends, do you want to raise your children, or pay someone else to raise them? Do you really need the money or just want the money? Discuss it with your husband! Good luck.

We do a lot of charity work as a family. I agree with you - it's a great idea to teach your kids while they're young that we have a responsibility to help other people. It gives me hope that the next generation will be decent, compassionate human beings and care about more than just themselves.

Brilliant idea. Just not all the babies though, we have to save some for other aspects of the future. The revolution will be televised!

Over ANY twenty-year period, the stock market has provided investors with a better return on their money than nearly any other investment vehicle.  I don't know that I'd recommend investing in individual stocks unless there's a company that you know very well and believe they're doing well.\n\nI would recommend a stock-based mutual fund...if your child is young, then a really agressive fund.  \n\nSelect a "no-load" mutual fund, which means there's no fee to buy or sell shares in the fund.  My favorite fund families are American Century and Vanguard.\n\nGood luck!

Don't think so.\n\nThe benifits are for the children.  That's why it's called "benefits for surviving children".

That's an interesting question . . . I think it's becuase of the enormous investment in money, energy, time, emotion, etc.  Parents don't want to see their kid "screw up" becuase they want to see their "investment" payoff. By that I mean they want to see their kid become happy, educated, successful, etc. That doesn't mean that parents know what their doing, but it does mean that right or wrong, they typically do try.\n\nBut there's another theory that claims that we're just animals that instictively take care of children because we want to pass on our genes to the next generation.

Yes, they are. Until we learn to care for the ones already exisitng, we should hold off on creating more of our own. (Just a personal observation.) Perhaps some of these families who like to pop out kid after kid should adopt one (or several).

Put enough away to pay for both our kids to go to Ivy League schools through graduate school.\n\nPay off debt of family and our church (which is like family).

your right, it is too much.\n\nand i wouldnt want to give it to my kids as then they would have nothing to work towards, so perhpas buy them a flat. you know they are secure and they can sell it to use as a huge deposit on their own house when they are ready to move on and up.\n\ncharity has got to figure pretty high, my youngest has a rare bone marrow disorder so they would get a lot - in fact if you win can you let me know so i can tap you up for a few bob for research.\n\ni think i would get them to invest it for me while i took a long cruise and considered my options.  ok you are gonna want to blow some straight away, but you would need to consider what you will do with it from a calm perspective.

Yes, as a matter of fact I have done the college savings plan in my state for my 7 year old, because by the time she's in college it would cost a small fortune. By doing it this way I am paying what it cost now, and if she doesn't go I get the money back. But she BETTER go. LOL!

I say you get what you give. If you invested very little time and money in your kids, they will do the same when you are old. My sons already told me they are each gonna build me a house right next to theirs so I can live by them. I hope they all live in the same neighborhood! I love my kids and they love me enough not to put me in a horrid nursing home, which is not only cruel, but a waste of money.

Depending on the state you live in...could be up to 35%.  They'e your kids and you should support them no matter what percent it costs you.
