According to the National Advisory Council on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism every year 500,000 college age students are injured while under the influence, 70,000 are victims of sexual assault or date rape where alcohol is a factor and 25% have problems at college such as missing class, missing assignments and doing badly on exams because of alcohol abuse.

It is never too early to start planning the future out for your child, especially with the way that college tuition is elevating to new heights with every passing year. Before you start planning though, it is important to know your options as new parents to a potential college student (even if he or she is just a few days old!).

If not, you will then have to contact specific companies that deal with college savings plans, such as the Section 529 state college savings plans. Such a plan enables you, as new parents, to start stashing money away now, so that junior can attend your state college once he or she is of age to do so.
