Report: Parents save for kids college, but it's not enough
Parents are saving their pennies for their kids' college education. Unfortunately, they need dollars. Thousands of them.
Fidelity Investments conducted a study this year and found that 69 percent of Massachusetts parents have begun saving for future college costs. That's up from 59 percent two years ago.
