Fidelity Investments recently released survey results of parents and students about college savings. It's interesting to see how the recession has changed what parents and students are doing to pay for college expenses. http://mycollegeguide.org/blog/?p=63

I'm glad to be in Texas. I have a TGTP and get to keep it.

Now some people are upset because after the end of next month they only will be able to cash out the account for what they put in. But they seem to forget... if they don't touch it, they'll still get what they paid for -- 4 years of higher education far below they current cost.

If people aren't happy then they can cash out their plan and risk it in the markets. I will be willing to bet that if they'd put the same money in the markets they would be crying about how much they lost, instead of how much they have.
