Use a 529 Plan to Offset Rising Education Costs
One of the most sound investments you can make to help pay for your child's higher education is by using a 529 plan. These funds grow in a tax-free environment, and generally have a 3-5% rate of return. The only catch is that all funds need to be used for higher education, and if not... there are monetary penalties imposed when withdrawn for other uses.
Washington offers a direct-sold 529 college savings plan and a prepaid tuition program. The DreamAhead College Investment Plan is sponsored and distributed by the Washington Student Achievement Council. Sumday Administration, LLC, a BNY Mellon Company, provides program management. The Guaranteed Education Tuition (GET) Program guarantees that the value of an account will keep pace with the cost of college tuition, no matter how much it changes in the future.
