So I just opened a 529 savings account for P. I have a traditional savings account for him now, but this one will be invested in three mutual funds. I set it up to contribute a set amount, automatically from my paycheck each month, and then the amount will increase each year.
The reason I am AW'ing my firm is because the former president and founder of the company is seeding the account with $1,000! And, there's a chance that he might continue doing this (not that it's to be expected by any means). I am just thrilled at this chance for P's future and am really committed to saving each month and seeing the account grow. I feel really lucky that my firm is doing this for all of us who have children!

NO, that is the only downfall to it. I could see those without children being resentful of it for sure. Especially because one woman I work with isn't sure if she can have children.
They see us rollin'...they be hatin'.
