While many people associate 529 plans with college savings, today’s plans offer more flexibility than ever before. Funds can be used for qualified educational expenses ranging from K-12 programs and trade schools to community colleges and traditional universities.\n\nAndy also discusses an important challenge facing families today. While many parents could benefit from a 529 plan, relatively few are taking advantage of the opportunity. Understanding the options available and starting early can help ease the financial burden of future educational costs.\n\nWhether a child dreams of attending college, learning a skilled trade, or pursuing another educational path, planning ahead can make those goals more attainable.\n\nThis MADM is brought to you by, Athens Bible School, proudly supporting stories and the people who make our communities strong.\n\nReal stories.\nReal people.\nReal impact.\nNews That Unites!™️","author_name":"The Mark White Show","author_url":"https://audioboom.com/channels/5024444-the-mark-white-show","provider_name":"Audioboom","provider_url":"https://audioboom.com","width":480,"height":95,"thumbnail_url":"https://audioboom.com/i/43674126/600x600/c","thumbnail_width":600,"thumbnail_height":600,"html":""}
