1 Thing Will Make You Jump, Jump

By Meaghan O'Connell October 23, 2014

Thursday is a great day to do that 1 thing you don’t want to do but also don’t want to continue thinking about doing.

My 1 Thing, which I just did, is to deposit money in my child’s 529 account before the year ends and while the stock market still sucks. Will college, moreover college TUITION, exist in its current form by the year 2032? I hope not, but I hope if it does change it will change in some way which makes this investment still worthwhile.

What’re your Things?
