This.My son has about $90K set aside by my wife's parents in a 529. I'll count on it when the checks are cut and not before.
My step father "buys 10 shares of Berkshire Hathaway B stock every year for my son's college expenses". Notice how I put that in quotes? Even though he sends a picture of the purchase confirmation every year, It doesn't enter into our financial plan one bit until I or my son have actual possession of the funds / securities. That may or may not ever happen for any number of reasons.
