This review is from: Savingforcollege.Com's Family Guide To College Savings: Edition 2009-2010 (Paperback)
This book--its really an overgrown pamphlet--has almost no value at all. It is almost all fluff. It has large type, large pictures, and contains virtually no details of any kind. I expected the book by an expert to say something, to provide details. It failed. The one positive thing is a chart at the end comparing different college saving plans. But one page, not matter how good, cannot save an entire "book". This is a complete and utter waste of money. I wish I had returned it.

What does a CPA know about financial planning? He is just a CPA. You should refer to right financial advisor with real advice.
Do your own research or talk to a financial advisor. Do not waste your money on this. I would rather take my kids out.
