Financial Wellness: Funding Your Child's Education

With the average cost of tuition and fees at a four-year college (public or private) increasing significantly on an annual basis, it is never too early to start a savings program.  In this seminar we will explore the tax benefits, financial benefits and planning benefits with proper planning.  We will spend time discussing planning ideas, such as using your personal savings for education funding, through the use of techniques that can help you identify and try to manage risks which can otherwise prevent you from achieving your overall savings goal. 

In this seminar you will learn:

•  The pros and cons to making outright gifts to children and/or grandchildren,
•  The use of UGMA/UTMA custodial accounts,
•  Coverdell education savings accounts,
•  An overview of college savings plans,
•  How to put it all together and select the right funding/accumulation strategy for you,
•  How life insurance can be a powerful tool in planning for a child’s education, and
•  Finally, we will put it all together and go through a case study.
