Finance Your Child's Education Without Stress
Summary:
Back in 2002, the average yearly cost for public university tuition was $9,338. By 2017, it surged to an estimated $19,413, excluding expenses like room and board, books, and other necessities. With these rising costs, it's wise to start planning for your child’s education now.Explore Your Options Beyond Loans and Scholarships
While loans and scholarships are popular, you have more choices that don't require going into debt. Here are some effective strategies to prepare financially for your child’s future:
529 Plans
A 529 Plan, a tax-free investment option, helps families save for college. Though each state offers its own plan, you’re not restricted to invest solely in your home state’s plan. There are two main types:
1. Prepaid Tuition Plans:
- Pay in-state tuition at today’s rates.
- Low-risk and designed to match or exceed inflation.
- Typically limited to state residents and may not cover private universities.
2. Education Savings Accounts:
- Investment accounts with values that vary with the market.
- Usable at eligible public and private universities, no residency needed.
- High contribution limits, allowing up to $11,000 annually without a gift tax.
Start a Savings Account
Even if college is just a few years away, it’s never too late to start saving. Find areas to trim unnecessary spending and allocate those funds to a high-interest savings account.
Practical Tips:
- Instead of two video games for a birthday, purchase one and save the rest.- During holidays, consider putting money aside rather than buying multiple gifts. Your child will appreciate a stress-free education more than fleeting presents.
Choose the Right Bank
Opt for an FDIC insured online bank. These banks offer higher interest rates due to lower operating costs. You’ll deposit money through your current checking account and can receive statements electronically or by mail.
By carefully planning and utilizing these strategies, you can ensure your child’s education is financially secure and stress-free.
