How To Prepare For Higher Education Expenses For Your Children | Aimee Interviews Patricia Roberts
Topics
- We enjoyed talking to Patricia Roberts, author of Route 529, A Parents Guide to Saving for College and Career Training with 529 Plans. We discuss some of the ins-and-outs of what the 529 account is, how to open one, how the account works, what it can be used for, how to save more money, tax benefits of a 529 account and more!
- Patricia explains how one can give college savings gift cards as presents for birthdays and other milestones as well as corporate programs that are advantageous for working parents and their families.
- Patricia's passion stems from her personal story. She had no idea how she would be able to afford college for her son (as she was paying back over $50,000 in her own student loan debt when her son arrived), she began saving for her infant son's future education expenses as soon as she returned to work following her maternity leave.
- She took a little out of each paycheck, increased contributions over time when she could, and 22 years later, Patricia is proud to say that she just celebrated her son's debt-free graduation from college this past June.
- We are big fans of her work!
