Define your financial goals for your child
 You need to be clear about which stage you are planning for
 For Example :
Child’s Graduation - 18 years
Child’s Post Graduation – 21/22 years
Child’s Marriage – 25 years
***Generally parents require fund for child’s Graduation course
Time Horizon
Number of years left for your child to start college = Child’s Age at the time of college – Child’s Current Age
Example:
Child’s Current age : 5 years
Child’s Graduation Age : 18 years
Number of years left for child to start college: 18-5 = 13 years
*** it will help you determine whether you are going to invest for short term, medium term or long term
Why Save for Your Child's Future?
 If you're like most parents, you want your
child to go to college. At the same time,
paying for college is probably one of
your biggest financial concerns.
 By starting a savings plan early, even
before your child begins elementary
school, you can reduce the burden of
taking on high debt to pay for his or her
higher education.
Common reasons parents don't save for
college
I don’t have any money to save.
 Too often this is true. If you live paycheck to paycheck, you may not have any money to save
toward future college expenses.
 But take a closer look at your expenses. You may be able to "find" money to save just by adjusting
some priorities. For example:
 Put some extra money in your pocket by canceling subscriptions to magazines that you never get around
to reading.
 Brown-bag it instead of eating out for lunch a few days a week, and you can "find" an extra $50 each
month!
 Add it up, and all of a sudden you have the means to start a college fund. Sometimes you just need to
make savings a priority and come up with a plan.
Thank You.
