We'll be finishing paying off our mortgage in a few weeks. At the moment we're massively overpaying (paid around £90k off this year), so even if we let our belts out a bit we'll have around £50k per annum "spare" cash.
We want to ringfence around £70k for ds's uni education (7 yr course). Is there any advantage in putting money in his name (he's almost 16)?
Assuming we don't both lose our jobs imminently, then potentially we'll have that level of spare cash every year for probably 7 or 8 years, till dh is likely to take early retirement. He's lost tons of money through his pensions so we don't particularly want to put the spare cash into a pension fund.
Does anyone have any bright ideas?
Thanks
