Save Smart for Your Child’s Future | Jackson News

Back-to-school season is the perfect time to start planning for your child’s future — especially with rising education costs. Mississippians face an average student debt of over $39,000, delaying big life goals like homeownership and retirement. But help is here: the state treasurer’s office offers two smart savings tools. MACS lets you start with just $25, offering tax benefits and covering any educational expense — plus fees are now 20% lower. For four-year degrees, MPACT lets you lock in today’s tuition rates with plans as low as $10 a day — enrollment opens September 1. Whether your kid heads to college, trade school, or community college, starting early with small, consistent savings can make a huge difference. Make saving part of your back-to-school routine — your child’s future self will thank you. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
