No. <br /><br />As long as she doesn't do anything really dumb, as long as she follows instructions, if I'm wrong, and she doesn't come out ok, then I'll pick up the bill. She's not going to have to take out loans because of this.<br /><br />I've researched and I've read and while it is always possible that the borrowers will all quit paying tomorrow, historically speaking, as long as you are well diversified, it is hard to lose money. People who lose money are either not investing enough or are following stratigies akin to gambling.

She, most likely does not have the time or expertise to gamble with her college money. You might think about letting her use a small amount for her college graduation money, but my experience is that few do well that young with something so important. <br />I am glad you are doing well.
