Chapter 1: The Mustang in the Driveway
My wife bought our younger daughter a brand new Mustang for her birthday, but when my older daughter checked her college fund, all $92,000 was completely gone.
At first, I thought the shiny Mustang was just an overly expensive gift.
Then Maya showed me her phone with trembling hands.
Her 529 college account balance was zero.
I confronted my wife immediately.
"Claire…
where is her college money?"
She gestured toward the driveway without looking at me.
"Brooke needed it."
My heart stopped.
The Mustang cost $41,000.
That meant $51,000 was still unaccounted for.
I stared straight into her eyes.
"Where is the rest of the money?"
Claire slowly slid her phone behind her back.
Her pale face told me everything.
The st0len college fund wasn't even the real secret.
