Mitch here! It’s been a while. Missed you guys. 😉

Recently, Kelly wrote this post about lessons learned from five years of blogging. In it, she touched upon the importance we’ve placed on allocating money for retirement, health insurance, emergency/rainy day funds, and college costs. In this post, though, I want to dive a little deeper into that last one: Emma’s education savings, and how, exactly, we’re planning for that. Because YIKES. It can be overwhelming for parents. I know it’s been for us!

Note: Let it be known that it took us a considerable amount of time to come up with plans for all this stuff. Don’t freak out if all your ducks aren’t in a row yet. It’s a process, and the hardest–and easiest–part is starting!
