Kiddie College Savings Plan - How To Begin
We found you a few
things to help you find out if you're saving enough for your kid's
college or if you just want to get a ballpark figure for what to
expect in the years to come.
Although many college
planning calculators base their estimated future college costs on
the national average cost of attending a public university, there's
a big difference in sending your kid to the local public university
than to an ivy leaguer.
E*Trade, an online
brokerage company, offers a college-planning calculator that helps
you understand the tuition you'll be paying for a specific school at
a specific time in the future based on the inflation rate that you
choose. This really helps you understand how to plan
accordingly.
We also found,
Savingsforcollege.com which provides an education in the world of
the 529 college savings plans, also known as the tax-advantage
college savings accounts. The site offers detailed information
on every plan in the nation but beware, since there are 52 states,
you'll need to download your individual state data for your
comparison.
