May 29 = National 529 Education Savings Day 🎓

It’s a great reminder that planning ahead isn’t just about retirement—it’s also about creating opportunities for the next generation.

A 529 plan is designed to help families save for future education expenses with potential tax advantages and flexibility. And the earlier you start, the more time your savings has to grow.

Here’s the thing:
You don’t have to fully fund college overnight.
You just have to start.

Even small, consistent contributions can make a meaningful difference over time—and help ease the burden of future student debt.

Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, or just someone who wants to invest in a child’s future, today is a great day to:
• Open a plan
• Review contributions
• Or simply learn more

Because education is an investment—and planning ahead helps make it possible.
