Today is National 529 Day, a reminder that saving for a child’s future can be simple and impactful.
529 plans offer a flexible way to prepare for what comes next. Funds can be used for college, career and technical schools, and registered apprenticeships to help cover expenses like tuition, room and board, books, and even computers.
529 savings are not limited to one child, either! They can be used by another family member or even for your own continuing education. In some cases, they may also be used toward qualified student loan repayment.
Family and friends can contribute with ease, making it a meaningful way to support a child’s future goals.
If you would like to learn more about how a 529 plan could fit into your family’s financial strategy, I’m here to help. Call my office at (618) 345-4900 or email us at [email protected] to start the conversation.
