Class of 2027

Jeremy and I both came out of college with several student loans. We know that debt is a part of the average college student's life, but we are hoping to eliminate most of Braxton's possible debt. (Aren't we great parents?!) Earlier in the year Jeremy and I started our investment funds for retirement with Bobby Lee Harris at Edward Jones so we went back to him for Braxton's college fund. Bobby Lee ran a report that said it was going to cost over $180,000 for Braxton to attend MTSU! No, that number wasn't for Vandy, just plain ol' MTSU. We started the fund with some money that we got for Braxton from Gi Gi, Pops, Great-Grandma and a few other people. We have asked the grandparents that instead of gifts at Christmas, birthday, etc. that they just deposit money into his college fund instead. We are excited to know that they have agreeded to the idea. Braxton will also be excited (later in life) to know that instead of him getting a little toy that he was going to get tired of after a week that we were thinking and investing in his future.
While we were at the Edward Jones office we had visitors!
