<prompt> Human: Hey guys,In my family, when there is a new child that joins the family I like to setup a 529 account for that child as a gift from my family to theirs. I have an account for my son, and make monthly contributions, and also ask for contributions as gifts. If you were going to get a 25 xmas gift, how about a 10 toy, and a 15 contribution?I generally open the account with 25-50 in it, give them my short spiel about why it is important, and how they should give anything they can to it. Even 5 mo.Its been a year for some, and longer for others and not a single person has made a contribution.How can I encourage these parents to take this account seriously, and invest even just a little bit into their childs future?And how do you do this, without being that parent telling another parent how to be a parent?Maybe some articles books, or things like that?  <response>: And how do you do this, without being that parent telling another parent how to be a parent?You cant. If they arent interested in saving for their childs future, that is their prerogative as a parent.What you can do is make it known that you have knowledge about how to set up college savings accounts and that you are willing to help andor share your knowledge when someone wants your advice. It sounds like this is what you are doing, so good for you.
