Still searching for the perfect holiday gift for a future student? Well look no further! In this new podcast, Joe Hurley and I discuss why a contribution to a 529 plan can be a more meaningful gift for a child than a toy or cash. Tune in to this episode to learn about how the money you put away for college can grow in value over time, and whether it's best to donate directly to a child's existing account or open your own. Joe explains that as long as the funds are saved in a 529 account, they can typically be used to pay for any post-secondary school in any state. What's more, there are a number of plans that make it so easy to contribute; you'll wonder why you ever even considered going to the mall.

Happy Holidays from Savingforcollege.com!
