“NTA it is your money to do with what you want. By your sister’s philosophy giving the money to another child’s education make sense and you are planning to have another child. She doesn’t get to lay claim to the money because her kid is of age now. She had 18 years to help save for her child’s college, she had 18 years to encourage her child to get good grades to help with scholarships, she had 18 years to instill the reality of how things work in the world. If she still needs help there are grants and scholarships out there based on financial need. Her prodigy may have to start off in a community College but it is still a path to a good education.”
