When saving for your child's education, time is your biggest ally. The earlier you start planning, the more time you have to save and grow your college fund. Here are some benefits of starting early:
By starting early, you can contribute smaller amounts over a more extended period. This can add up to a significant sum when your child is ready for college.
With compound interest, the sooner you start investing, the more time your money has to grow. This can lead to higher returns in the long run.
Planning gives you more flexibility in terms of investment options and strategies. You can take on more risk when your child is young. You can gradually shift to safer investments as they grow older.
