College Planning with Life Insurance
Planning today for your children’s college expenses can be challenging as costs continue to rise. The current annual cost for a public four-year, in-state college is $23,250, while the cost of a private nonprofit four-year college is $53,430.
To save for future college costs, many parents turn to 529 savings plans, which offer tax-deferred growth of account values and tax-free distributions when used for qualified education expenses. While 529 plans provide valuable benefits for families, using permanent life insurance as a supplement to a 529 plan can provide additional protection for your family if the unforeseen occurs while creating an additional source of tax-favored funds that can be used to help pay for future college costs or other supplemental income needs.
