MDP - Saving for College
Go to this site and research stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. After you have researched, decide which you will use for investing your money, and decide how much you will be investing.
Stocks:
If you are buying stocks, go to this site and choose which publicly traded company you would like to buy stocks in. Figure out how many shares you would like to buy, and what the total cost will be.
Mutual Funds
If you are investing in mutual funds, explain why you are investing in mutual funds.
Bonds
If you are investing in bonds, explain why you are investing in bonds, and what kind of bonds you will buy.

** You should write a paragraph about your college saving plans.
