Is it time for a financial checkup?
Invest in your child’s future
You’ll watch your child learn and grow. Open a path of possibility with a my529 account. A recent 2023 study published by College Board found that “the benefits of a college education extend beyond financial gains. More educated citizens have greater access to health care and retirement plans. They are more likely to prioritize healthy behaviors, pursue civic engagement, and to provide better opportunities for their children.”1
my529, Utah’s educational savings plan, can help you prepare now for your child’s educational future. It’s never too early to start, and you can save what you want, when you want.
When it’s time, your child can use their money on college, university, technical college, or registered apprenticeships to pursue their dreams. From the August 2023 Academic Pediatrics journal, Pennsylvania found “Education is a primary driver of economic security, and educational attainment is associated with improved lifetime earnings and health outcomes.”2
