|||hahaha, yeahh.|||I don't think so. I don't know how it works where you are, but I'm 17 and at university.|||No, you should start saving a few days before she starts college. Buy a large gun, some bullets and then convince a doting relative to write her into the will.|||It's not too early, and could take a lot of the worries to come off your shoulders.|||:)


So which Forbes list are you on?|||Um, no. I don't think it would ever be too early. I'd start saving at birth.|||alittle late. you should have started years ago|||Yeah, maybe you should think about it in another 12 years?|||No. definitely not too early.|||If she is 17 days old. Oh no, it is not too early.





If she is 17 months old. Oh no, it is not too early.





If she is 17 years old, then you are going to have to tell your daughter to get a job and attend a community college until she gets an associates degree before she attends a University.





It is WAY TOO LATE to start saving for college for a 17 year old child.





What were you waiting for. Well, in one year, you can start saving a couple a grand for her. Well I guess it better to be late than never do anything at all.





THE DAY YOU CHILD IS BORN, IS THE DAY YOU START SAVING.





JUST THINK...YOU PUT AWAY $50.00 A WEEK FOR 18 YEARS....HER COLLEGE EDUCATION WOULD HAVE BEEN PAID FOR.





NOT AT 17 YEARS OLD.....THAT IS BUSTING YOUR *** AT THE LAST MINUTE, YOU ARE TOO OLD FOR THAT NOW.|||It's never too early.


Even some people save up very early on in life.





I also don't understand how 17 would be too EARLY?


You make her sound like a baby.


If anything it's NEARLY TOO LATE.


Get saving!|||it depends on what type of college she's going to, if she's just going to a junior college then it's not too late, you could start saving right now, junior colleges aren't really expensive and are usually covered by financial aid if she's eligilble for it but if she's going to a private school then you should REALLY be saving up starting now, but remember your daughter can always apply for financial aid and if you're really worried about money you can always tell your daughter to get a job as well|||Yep. Wait until the day she moves into her dorm, then tell her to get a lemonade stand set up and fend for herself.|||There is a better way: join the military.
