Saving For a Kid's College Education

In this episode of the Money Meets Medicine Podcast, hosts Justin Harvey and Dr. Jimmy Turner examine the complexities and strategies of saving for children's college education. They argue that a 529 plan, while useful, is not the ultimate solution for funding education. The hosts share their personal experiences and offer alternative savings options, including prepaid tuition plans, scholarships, and Roth IRAs. They emphasize the importance of having philosophical and practical conversations about the purpose of higher education and how to incorporate family values into financial planning. Additionally, they discuss the importance of teaching children about money, giving them financial responsibilities, and considering non-traditional educational pathways.   Save $100 on a student loan consult: https://moneymeetsmedicine.com/slp  Looking for a free-copy of the best-selling Physician Philosopher's Guide to Personal Finance?
