g. bryant – I believe that you are allowed to use resp money for education in the US.

Thanks for posting this. I'm always interested in these comparisons. I've read a lot on American PF blogs about the ins and outs of 529 plans (most recently at Interesting Money), but summer vacation must be a slow period for posts and comments about education savings plans. Looking forward to the TFSA/Roth IRA post.

Interesting. I’ve never even heard of a 529 (and we tend to get bombarded with info about US financial products). Is the 529 well known to most Americans?
