Hi! I have just sold a property and was going to put 120k in college fund for my two children - one will be in college in 4 years time and the other in 5 years. I was going to put the money in Government Savings Certs. Family think I'm mad and should buy another more manageable property and sell when time comes, but don't want stress of this - is e120k enough and is putting it into Saving Certs a good idea - 4 and 5 years is a relatively short time-span.
