Saving Plans to Fund Your Child's Education

  • Target Audience: Mid-Career Agent

Pay to view

What a great accomplishment seeing your child in their gown or watching their joy while throwing their hat in the air. In those moments, we may forget that we still have a pending college account to pay, often for many years. Understandably, sometimes life happens, and we cannot afford to save for this important journey of our child; or it is possible that we do not invest time in considering tools to save for these years.

While the increasing cost of education may sound like a ticket hard to save for, good college savings beat the anxiety and stress that significant amounts of student debt bring along.

Join us to learn about good to best savings plans you can choose from to help pay for your child’s college education. You want to select plans that help your savings work hard for you while also providing tax advantages to your bottom line. Plus, some programs allow you to name a second child as the beneficiary in case the original beneficiary did not need these savings.
