        Not specifically saving per child. But have savings that I spend on whatever is needed. Different kids are going to need different amount of financial help at different times. I'm not necessarily of the opinion that if one kid gets £x, then the others should have the same.

          Share the same concerns - Cannot be certain a few k pressed into the hand of an 18 yr old is the best plan.
          SIPP's are a good shout but way too long term for me.
          I have ring-fenced an amount into an emerging market fund (but in my name)- with many years to work with I am happy to go risky with the amount. Told my lad I will be funneling some of his xmas/bday money into it. Also told him no matter what, he will get the money back even if their are losses. I want to get him interested in investing and this sounds like a good way.

              Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                    It is a slippery slope when you overdo the mollycoddling. Just look at how sasguru turned out FFS!!!
