Save For College From A Position Of Strength

The one question I get a lot is what 529 plan should I use? The first thing I see people making a mistake on is they start these things too early, right? What do I mean by too early? It's fine to start it when your kid's one year old. That's not a problem. That's not necessarily too early. What is too early in my opinion is if you're still trying to pay off your own student loans, right? You can best help others from a position of strength. I think you got to take care of yourself first, right? It's the same thing when you're on a plane, right? And they tell you if the oxygen drops down, put yours on first then help your child. There's a reason for that. You can just help others much better from a position of strength. So make sure you got your things taken care of before you start thinking about others. And the 529 plan by definition is for others.
