It’s been over 10 years since this guy graduated college, and his biggest financial burden is student debt. I thought that I had planned well, but of course I wasn’t. Tuition is just a start, when we added in books, room and board, spending money, and the small unexpected things that came up, we just hadn’t saved enough.
Florida Prepaid Scholarship Program
Florida residents now have an advantage over what we did with the Florida Prepaid College Foundation. Plans like the 529 Savings Plan that allows parents and grandparents to set aside tax free savings if used toward college, or the Florida Prepaid College Plan, guaranteed by the State of Florida, with plans that help a family pay for most all tuition and fees. With plans starting at low as $47 per month, you can begin saving right away.
Why am I telling you this?
Because the 2017-18 Open Enrollment period has already started and it run through Feb. 28, 2018. This is the BEST gift you can give your kids this holiday season and something that will impact their entire adult lives.
