🎓 Grandparents: Want to make a lasting impact on your grandchildren's future? A 529 education savings plan could be the perfect way to show your love and support!

Here's why grandparents appreciate 529 plans:
▹Create a meaningful legacy by investing in your grandchild's education dreams
▹Help reduce potential student loan burden for future generations
▹Maintain control of the account while enjoying tax-advantaged growth potential
▹Contributions can fit any budget - from birthday gifts to regular deposits
▹Watch your investment in their future grow alongside your grandchildren
▹Did you know? 529 plans aren't just for college! They can be used for K-12 tuition, trade schools, apprenticeships, and even to repay student loans (up to certain limits).
▹Plus, you may have the option to convert unused 529 funds to a Roth IRA starting in 2024, subject to specific requirements and limitations.

Every child deserves the opportunity to pursue their educational goals, and the recently added flexibility makes 529 plans a really great option to consider.

Happy Mother's Day to three amazing women we're lucky to have connected to our team: Denise, Morgan, and Sarah! 💐

Denise brings care, warmth, and a whole lot of humor to our team. She's professional, dependable, and sets the tone with her strong work ethic and positive energy. She keeps us grounded and laughing, and we're better because of her presence.

Morgan is a true asset to our team. She shows up with dedication, heart, and a bright energy that makes everything better. Outside of work, you can find her and her kiddos enjoying various sporting events and checking out great places to eat. The love and enthusiasm she has for her family shines through in everything she does. We're so grateful to have her and the perspective she brings to our team.

And Sarah, Jake's wife, while she's not officially on our team, she absolutely feels like part of it! As a mom of five, she pours so much love and intentionality into her family. Her heart for her family and the way she shows up for them is something we all admire.

Today we celebrate all three of you for the strength, dedication, and heart you bring to your roles as moms! Thank you for the example you set, the care you give, and the way you lift up everyone around you. We can't think of three better moms — we're lucky to know you!

Wishing you a Mother's Day full of appreciation, love, and (hopefully) some quiet moments to yourselves!
