Back to school season means new backpacks, new supplies, and for a lot of families, new thoughts about college costs down the road.
A 529 plan is one of the best tools out there for education savings. Contributions grow tax free, and you can use the funds for tuition, room and board, books, and more. If your child ends up not needing all the money, you have options like changing the beneficiary or rolling funds into a Roth IRA.
One tip we share often: max out your own retirement savings before you pour extra money into college funds. Your future self will thank you.
Curious how to build a plan that covers both? We would love to help. https://www.wovencapital.net/back-to-school-season-529-plans-and-education-savings-for-tech-families/
