Well this is the first half - the rest is not liquid but they will get that at some point down the road.

Is there some sort of college fund that you could offer to match, for the baby?

His sister was talking about starting a fund for the baby. If they each put even a couple of thousand in it would grow so much by the time he turned 18.

tell them you are available if they want to talk about investing it or putting it away, and then back off.

Who hasn't blown money before?

We all have to learn our own lessons.

Maybe they will blow you away and be completley responsable with it! you never know!
