It’s September. In my family, that means birthdays and gifts made to 529 Plans. September 2nd was Jackson’s birthday. Today, September 26th, is my daughter’s birthday and tomorrow, September 27th, is Dylan’s birthday. Jackson and Dylan are my two grandsons. 
When my granddaughter Jovie had her first birthday party I was overwhelmed by the amount of wonderful gifts she received from family and friends. Her birthday is in January which follows another big gift giving day, Christmas. So I decided to begin giving gifts of money as a long-term gift to my three grandchildren by setting up 529 college funds.
