College Savings Plans

College savings plans are specialized investment accounts designed to help families save for higher education expenses. They typically offer tax advantages, such as tax-free growth or withdrawals when used for qualified education costs like tuition, books, and housing. Popular types include 529 plans and Coverdell Education Savings Accounts. These plans allow contributions from family members and provide a range of investment options. The goal is to accumulate funds over time, reducing the financial burden of college costs later on, while offering flexibility and potential tax benefits to maximize savings efficiently.
