of their kids.

teachers and school administrators who holds the key to success of

3. Did you ever wonder?
How much will your children education cost?
If you can afford to send your children to the best college?
What would happen to your child’s higher education if accidents
happen?
If you will have enough left for your retirement after paying your
child’s education?
7. 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
8. 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
9. 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.
11. 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.
