Protecting Your Child’s Future With a Plan You Make Right Now
--
Empowering your family’s future with financial literacy is free, and taking action today will influence your child’s lifetime…
Financial Literacy includes planning ahead to meet the educational goals of your family. The Michigan Department of Treasury offers vetted 529 programs through MET or MESP that offer prepaid tuition savings for universities, community colleges and trade schools.
Planning for the future of a family member with disabilities is a little easier with the MiABLE savings account program administered by Treasury. The program offers investment and tax incentives for people who wish to save, along with the freedom to plan for the future without jeopardizing an individual’s disability benefits.
