Why This Matters

College Costs Have More Than Doubled in 20 Years

The average cost of a 4-year degree now exceeds $100,000 at public universities and $200,000+ at private institutions. And those numbers continue to rise at roughly 3-5% per year.

Whether you're a parent planning early or a grandparent who wants to help, understanding where you stand is the first step toward closing any gap.

The Best Time to Start Was Yesterday. The Second Best Time Is Today.

Every month you wait is a month of compound growth you miss. A $300/month contribution starting at birth could grow to over $115,000 by age 18 in a tax-advantaged 529 plan.
