Well, someone should market this for parents. Definitely an opportunity for some company.

  They already do, it is called a college fund, or 529 plan. Most parents with any sense are investing early because that's the only way to save up the $200,000 that college will cost per kid.

Select public in-state college, and 18 years from now, 4 year, it will cost $225K. Better get saving!

    Ah, ok, I hadn't heard of it in my country, but it makes sense someone in the US had it :) College in my country is free if you want to (but many people, including myself, believe you're better off going to a private, paid university anyways, for most careers).

  Some people in the "basic income" movement propose the government give every newborn a certain grant for future large expenses like college. (The EIC is sort of like this, but just for lower income people.)
