Start by saving money. Invest that money in something safe yet will give you a better return on your money over a savings account.
I live in Virginia and they offer a plan where you can open an account today and start paying into it for your child’s edu fund and you pay today’s college tuition rate. I think it is called a 529 plan. But I am not sure. If they are offered in your area and you get into it early when you children are still in grade school you will save thousands upon thousands of dollars. This plan is the first thing I am going to invest in when I graduate in the spring and find a good job.
Also you should stop claiming your child on your 1040 when they are a Junior in high school. This way they can go into the Financial Aid department at th college they are attending and apply as an independent student meaning they are not getting any help from family. Then they do not have to use you when they fill out there FASFA.
I would not get a home equity lone to pay for college. Your interest rates can go up and down. Where if you were to get a Federal student lone it stays set and you do not have to start paying until 6 months after graduating college.
Your best bet would be to talk to an Financial Planner at your bank or a private person. They will sit down with you and figure out what is best for your needs.
