There is just about enough money in each fund for the kids to go to a local state college. If they want to attend anything fancier than that, they can feel free to take out loans or to work their way through, like I did. My son has opted to attend the same community college that my brothers and I all graduated from. He hasn't yet spent a dime of his college fund. I am engouraging him to work his way through and to save his college fund for a down-payment on a house. He seems to like that idea.
