How Do I Spend Money From My 529 Plan?
It’s September! As we ring in the new school year, we want to help you craft your financial plan and stay one step ahead.
How do I take money out of my 529 plan?
Withdrawals, qualified expenses, and income limitations. These are part of the 5 most-asked questions we get from parents with a 529 plan.
Why should your kid help pay for college?
4 out of 10 parents aren’t saving for college, and often, they don’t expect their kids to take responsibility for paying. Telling them to cover the entire bill means they’re more likely to drop out, but paying for part of it can lead to better grades (and other great bonuses!).
Goodbye summer, hello planning!
Now that school is officially in session, it’s time to set the early stages of your student’s college financial plan in motion. Sign up for a complimentary college funding consultation or educational webinar with me today!

Tips for Parents of Seniors
529 plans are one of the go-to college savings options for parents. They are heavily marketed, tax-advantaged, let you make high annual contributions, and don’t have income or age restrictions. Many families have some money in 529 plans (which they plan to use for college).
If you’re one of those families who have some college savings into a 529 plan, you want to make the most of it. Here are the 5 questions parents with 529 plans most often ask us (and the answers you need to know!).

Why Your Kid Should Help Pay for College
I recently heard from the parents of yet another high school senior who turned down a huge scholarship from a good college to attend her “dream school,” which of course has lousy financial aid. Now her parents are scrambling, trying to figure out how to pay for it.
This madness must end.
