The rising costs of college make it very important to start a savings plan for your child or loved one as soon as possible. Proper planning can prevent tuition costs from eventually altering your other financial goals.
While most people do not fund a College Savings account with the intention of covering every dollar of eventual tuition, doing so even at a limited level can have a very positive impact on your accumulated dollars to pay for tuition, through a combination of investment returns and preferential tax treatment. Additionally, your child can graduate with limited or no student loans, giving them the best start to prepare for their own futures.
