Saving for the future

There are many considerations when you think about saving for the long-term. Two of them are retirement and college expenses.

Saving for retirement

Saving through your company’s retirement plan:

  • Is great way to save and build your account balance over time. Start early and allow time to work for you
  • Allows you to take advantage of your employer’s match plan (if offered)

Saving for college with a 529 plan

A 529 is a savings plan designed to help build funds to pay for education. It allows you to save more money than other education saving plans – like a Coverdell account. Anyone can contribute to the account, as long as you don’t put more money in than the cost of tuition as set by the state.

Saving with a 529 helps make paying for college an attainable goal – if you start early and stick with it.

Ask your financial professional if this is the right plan for you.
