Why Saving for College Matters Now More Than Ever

Why Saving for College Matters Now More Than Ever

A Foundation for Their Future

We get it. Life can get busy. Saving for college might feel like another task on an endless to-do list. Between work, family, and everything else, it might seem easy to push aside.

But here's something to consider: by the time today's toddlers enter the workforce, about 70% of Florida jobs will require education beyond high school, with nearly half requiring a bachelor's degree. Plus, with college graduates estimated to earn nearly $2.8 million more over a lifetime than those without a degree, the benefits go far beyond the classroom.

That's why saving for college early is so important-because a degree is more than a piece of paper; it's a gateway to opportunity.

Meet Florida Prepaid: The Smart, Stress-Free Choice

At Florida Prepaid, we believe saving for college should be within reach for every family. Starting as low as $29 a month, our Prepaid Plans are designed to be flexible, affordable, and stress-free-no matter your budget.

Here's how it works: with a Prepaid Plan, you prepay the cost of college with fixed monthly payments, and when it's time for your child to pursue higher education, their Prepaid Plan is ready and waiting-guaranteed. And when you enroll now, you'll lock in tuition for less than the projected cost of college-and your savings are safe from future tuition hikes-basically making your plan inflation-proof.

Plus, if college ends up costing less than what you've paid into the plan, Florida Prepaid will refund the difference. Nice, right?

Save Now, Borrow Less Later

While it's true that it's never too late to save, the earlier you start, the better. Purchase a 1-Year University Plan or all four years and make lump-sum or monthly payments (that will never increase)-the choice is yours!

On the flip side, student loans bring debt-which can affect your child's future. By enrolling in a Prepaid Plan now, you're not only making college more accessible, but also giving your child the priceless gift of beginning their career with less debt.
