<p>Does anyone here have this? I totally missed the info sessions about it, so if you could let me know how they went, what was said, etc. that would be great!</p>
<p>The GET plan is one of the best investments we've ever made. We had a chunk of money come in in 2002 and bought four years worth of units for both of our kids. The unit price was $42 then and the current price is is $66, going up in May. Clearly, college tuition is going nowhere but up.</p>
<p>Our son is completing his freshman year at UW, and we have the GET program pay directly to UW in 3 quarterly installments. Works great! No problems with red tape, missed or mis-posted payments. </p>
<p>My understanding is that units need to be held for a minimum of two years before they can be used, but check their website for full details. <a href="http://www.get.wa.gov/%5B/url%5D">http://www.get.wa.gov/</a> You are not limited to using Washington GET, other plans <em>may</em> be usable by Washington residents -- check it out carefully, though. If you Google "529 comparision" you'll find several sites that compare various 529 plans (which is what GET is).</p>
