Saving For Your Child’s College Tuition
July 15th 2008 01:56
Every year the cost of tuition to attend college increases. This is true whether you are planning to send them to a private school or a public one. The public schools are facing decreases in funding from the government. At the same time, their costs continue to increase just like everyone else. They have to give employees raises and are still facing increases in the cost of utilities, etc.
So what does that mean for you? That means that there are no expectations that those college costs are not going to go down anytime soon.
If you have children or are planning to have children, you need to start saving money as early as possible. Just like saving for retirement, you need to be prepared. How much you decide to save depends on whether you are looking for your child to go to a public school or a private school. Obviously, the private school will be more expensive.
When you are thinking about those future costs, you need to be prepared to pay for tuition, fees books, housing, food and transportation costs. Oh and don’t forget that your child will need some money for entertainment.
