College Planning

The cost of college education continues to rise each year. The key to ensuring that your child has the chance to higher education is planning as early as possible. At Planning Needs Financial Group we work with our clients to ensure that these goals are realized. We encourage our clients to take these key steps that now make it easier to reach the goal of covering the rising cost of college tuition:

• Start a savings program: start by estimating the cost of college. Once the cost is known the need savings can be calculated.
• Consider tax-advantaged approaches: 529 Prepaid Tuition Plans, 529 Higher Education Savings Plans, Coverdell Savings Accounts, and cash value life insurance all have important tax advantages.
• If there’s a shortage: If personal savings will not be enough, the family can plan for the need to apply for financial aid or begin the search for scholarship funds.
