College may seem a long way off for your children, but the sooner you start saving, the more you’ll be able to help your child fund his or her education. Consider these tips:
- Open a savings account the day your child is born.
- Put money away on a consistent basis, such as an automatic payroll deduction. Adjust this amount as your salary increases.
- Save windfalls such as tax refunds and bonuses.
- Ask other relatives to contribute in lieu of gifts.
Did you know?
Saving just $50 a month beginning at your child’s birth will yield $20,000 by age 17 (with a 7 percent return on your money).
