Encore - 529 College Savings Plans: Simply the Smart Way to Save for College

Recorded on 02/26/2021 at the East Brunswick Public Library Thinking about saving for your child's college tuition can be a  daunting and overwhelming experience. This seminar will help attendees  understand the challenges that students have today and in the future  when it comes to paying for college, as well as rethinking several  misperceptions that many people have about college planning. Additionally, attendees will learn about the different options  available to fund a college education, while focusing on the features  and benefits of one option in particular, the 529 Plan, an education  savings vehicle that is a no-brainer despite the fact that research  suggests that only 29% of Americans have even heard of it. Attendees will also gain a familiarity with how to make sense of the  college savings process and will leave the seminar with a feeling of  comfort around how to make more informed—and more confident—decisions  about their college planning and saving process. Find out why our  presenter, Bradley Baskir, believes the 529 plan is the single most  under-utilized, but advantageous investment vehicle that exists.
