Do Your Homework

Imagine your child coming to you with an acceptance letter from the school of their dreams... What will you do to ensure they can continue to focus on school and not on how they'll have the funds to get there?

• Understand the Cost: Your child's tuition will likely be one of the most important and most expensive purchases you will ever make.
• Explore the Options: There are more savings options than ever for families who start saving early.
• Start Saving Now: Getting a head start is the best way to ensure your child will have more options later to pick the school that's best for them.

Increasing Your Savings

• Don't Delay: The longer you wait to begin monthly savings, the larger amount you'll have to set aside each month.
• Pay Yourself First: An automatic savings plan helps you put saving out of mind by ensuring that you'll contribute regularly toward your purchase.
• Consider Related Costs: Are there any additional costs that may be related to your major purchase? (For example, the closing costs associated with the down payment for a house or visa/passport fees for a vacation abroad)
