Your days are full—preschool drop-offs, snack negotiations, playdates, and maybe the occasional meltdown over the “wrong” color cup. With so much on your plate, saving for college can feel like something to worry about later.
But here’s the thing: when it comes to saving, time is one of your most valuable tools. And the earlier you start—even with small amounts—the more your savings can grow right alongside your child.
Why Waiting Costs More
It’s easy to think, “I’ll start when we have more money.” But the cost of waiting is missing out on years of potential growth. Starting now means future-you won’t be scrambling to catch up.
Florida Prepaid makes it simple to get started saving with flexible 529 plans that fit your budget and can adjust as your family grows.
Small Changes Add Up
Think about it this way: skipping just one or two takeout dinners a month could cover a contribution that, over 10+ years, turns into thousands saved. With Florida Prepaid, every little bit helps—and you’re never locked into more than you can manage.
Fund Fact
The average cost of dinner out for a family of 4 is $75-$100.
Confidence Starts with Preparation
Saving early isn’t about predicting your child’s exact path—it’s about giving them the freedom to choose. Whether they dream of college, trade school, technical certifications, or even graduate programs, Florida Prepaid makes it possible.
For more than 35 years, over 1.2 million Florida families have trusted us to make saving simple and stress-free. With flexible, affordable plans, you can:
