The truth? Many parents feel behind when it comes to saving for college. Between sports practices, homework, and day-to-day life, the years slip by fast. If your child is already in middle or high school, you might be wondering: Is it way too late to start saving?
The good news: it’s never too late. The steps you take now will make a meaningful impact on their tomorrow. Florida Prepaid makes it easy to start where you are with affordable, flexible options that fit your family’s budget and goals.
Focus on What’s Possible Now
Instead of looking back at what you didn’t do, focus on what you can do today. Even a few years of saving with Florida Prepaid can ease the financial burden.
Whether your child is 10 or 16, saving now gives them more freedom later. Florida 529 Plans can cover tuition for colleges, trade schools, technical certifications, or even graduate programs. That means they can pursue their passions without being boxed in by financial stress.
Maximize the Years Ahead
When you start saving later, a focused approach can help bridge the gap. Florida Prepaid Plans let you:
- Lock in tuition costs for less with a Prepaid 529 Plan.
- Grow funds tax-free with an Investment 529 Plan that can be used for K-12 educational expenses and higher education.
