Investing in Your Child′s Future. Financial Planning for Your Child′s Education

Most parents dream of giving their children the best possible education. However an education – primary, secondary and tertiary – costs money. Parents of a child born in 2006 can pay approximately $250K for a childs lifetime education according to the latest research from the Australian Scholarships Group. And costs are constantly on the rise. Investing in Your Childs Future is aimed at parents and future parents, grandparents and other family members, and covers childrens education from pre-school to tertiary studies. It is designed to show readers how they can secure and contribute to their childrens future and can benefit from a higher education at the institution of their choice, without sacrificing their lifestyle or financial security, and regardless of their income. Investing in Your Childs Future shows readers how they can finance all, or some, of their childrens education by planning ahead, implementing simple strategies and saving money as early and as regularly as possible. When your children are young, its easy to delay funding their education as it is not an immediate expense. However, education is a major expense, regardless of whether you choose a private or public education, and the sooner you start saving, the more money you will accumulate, and the sooner you can stop worrying about your childs future.
