Prepare for a worry-free future

I was thinking about starting a 529 plan for my son, who is currently 6 years old. But I was wondering if right now is the best time to invest, considering the current economic situation. Should I wait until the markets are more stable? I don’t know very much about investing, and I don’t wanna invest college money for him just to lose it! Any advice? Thanks!!

I am 18 years old, and realized that I will be in some major debt when I graduate from my prospective college. I guess I let me desire to attend the school outweigh the costs, which is about 49,000 dollars a year, with about 19,000 of that total I will have to pay in student loans a year. Can someone give me some advice about saving money? I thought about investing but how can I when I have no money to hire a broker…I mean I heard of investing in good mutual funds to earn money for retirement purposes, but is there something else I can do!?

I would like to open a college account, with applicable tax benefits, if possible, through an online bank to put $ in a MMA or CDs (this is to supplement our 529 for our oldest child). Where is a good online bank to do so?
