Jump Start their Education with a @FloridaPrepaid 529 !! #sponsored

This is a sponsored post on behalf of Bloggin’ Mamas & the Florida Prepaid College Board. All opinions expressed are Babushka's.




HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

It's summertime and the kids are in casa, enjoying their childhood, pero we all know that goes by so quickly.  Before you've had the chance to dry out their swimsuits and make photo albums, they're off to college. Quee? BB exaggerating? JU SO FONII!!! Bueno, maybe not that rapido, but fast enough that you should be thinking about their education and the future it'll bring them.

Summer is the perfect time to put extra money away for college, especially with a little help from Florida Prepaid. Through June 30, if you open a tax-advantaged Florida 529 Savings Plan, they'll seed your account with $25. Plus, set up automatic monthly contributions, and they'll add another $25 as part of their 529 Summer Jump-Start Promotion.*

There is no age limit, you don't have to be a Florida resident to purchase and the plan can be used nationwide; so it's a flexible option for parents who don't want to commit to a Florida Prepaid College Savings Plan yet OR it can be used in conjunction with a prepaid plan to cover other expenses outside of the tuition and fees. For a full savings vs prepaid comparison, visit myfloridaprepaid.com/faqs/savings-vs-prepaid-plans/

529 Florida Prepaid

What is a 529 Savings Plan?

529 savings plans are named after section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code 26 U.S.C. § 529 and are designed to encourage saving for future higher education expenses of a designated beneficiary. Many states offer 529 savings plan options, including Florida Prepaid.

Money from a 529 plan can be used for tuition, fees, books, supplies and equipment required for study at any accredited college, university or vocational school in the United States and at some foreign universities. The money can also be used for room and board, as long as the fund beneficiary is at least a half-time student. Off-campus housing costs are covered up to the allowance for room and board that the college includes in its cost of attendance for federal financial-aid purposes. There is even an expansion that allows it to be used for K-12 educational expenses as well.

May 29 was National 529 day and Florida Prepaid is trying to increase awareness about college savings and the Florida 529 Savings Plan.

The Future is Bright If You Handle it Right. @FloridaPrepaid Enrollment ends 2/29- NO CUBANTIME!!!

Babushka is part of Florida College Prepaid & Bloggin' Mamas Mama'bassadors program, but even if she weren't, the opinions are still 100% BB.  Been a fan of them for years.








HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!


As you know by now, Babushka is a fan of the Florida College Prepaid Plan bigtime, long time. First it was for The Trio, and then for The Grands.  This truly is something that they’ll use many times over and in so many ways!  The beneficiary has up to 10 years to use the plan for schooling.



10 years.png



My two girls used it for college, while my son was able to use the money put into the plan for him and use it towards his sons’ education.  There’s no losing in the plan- except for losing out on the enrollment date.


Coooorreeee Beautifuls, you only have until the 29th of this month to start your child’s chance for mañana- pero don’t wait ‘till mañana!!  #StartingIsBelieving and what better way is there to show that than by putting a little bit aside each month for their college? Y ahora it’s better than ever! Back in the day only Babushka could have a plan for The Trio- nowadays families can take out separate plans for the same child!  Los abuelos, tios, anyone can help pay for a child’s future with individual 1 year plans. Imaginate- if 4 people each pay for a one year plan, the schooling for that child is done.

Here’s a quick summary of the plans:



"1-Year Florida University Plan:
o   Now there is a more affordable way to save for State University credit hours. Introducing the
new 1-Year Florida University Plan
o   You can purchase one year, or 30 credit hours, at a time according to your budget and
timeline, without feeling the pressure of having to buy all four years at once
o   The plan also allows multiple purchasers to buy a plan for the same child. So now you can
team up with other family members to help pay for your child’s higher education
 For example, let Grandma and Grandpa buy one year and you purchase another. A
child can have up to four 1-Year Florida University Plans
-                                                                                                               
2-Year Florida College Plan
o   Set your child up with a practical, affordable path to entering his/her chosen career with an
associate’s degree or trade certification
o   Give your child the advantage over those with only a high school diploma
o   Like all of our plans, every cent of the value of this plan can be applied at any university or
college nationwide
-                                                                                                                
4-Year Florida College Plan
o   There are 28 Florida colleges and they’ve expanded their capabilities far beyond the two-year
programs. In fact, most now offer four-year bachelor’s degree programs in growth industries
like nursing and teaching, and continue to grow their degree programs year after year.
o   And since they’re typically less expensive than a university education, the 4-Year Florida
College Plan provides a practical, affordable path to a bachelor’s degree
o   Like all of our plans, every cent of the value of this plan can be applied at any university or
college nationwide
-                                                                                                               
2+2 Florida College Plan
o   Your child can receive a degree from one of Florida’s prestigious state universities for less than
a typical four-year university degree
o   By starting your child off at one of the state’s 28 Florida colleges, you’ll save money on lower-
level courses before transferring to a State University to finish off their degree
o   Students with this plan are guaranteed admission to a state university once they’ve earned
their associate’s degree at a Florida college
-                                                                                                             
4-Year Florida University Plan
o   This Plan will start your child off at one of Florida’s 12 prestigious state universities and see
them through their four-year journey.
o   If your child decides to start at a college (which are typically less expensive), the unused funds
from this Plan can be applied to a post-secondary degree or you can get the remaining money
back
o   Like all of our plans, this isn’t just restricted to Florida schools; the amount covered by your

Prepaid Plan can be used at schools nationwide."

Florida College Prepaid Plan #StartingIsBelieving



HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!!!

Increible pero cierto, My Eldest, Cristyl's Corazon at her college graduation. Felizmente BB had the foresight to matricular The Trio into the Florida College Prepaid program.  A member from the start, Babushka is so thankful she was able to- and still continues to be part of this great program. It's been more than 25 years andando. More than 1.6 million Prepaid Plans have been purchased and nearly 350,000 students have attended college using their Prepaid Plan. My Little One is currently using the plan BB had set up for her at birth, and my two eldest nietos have been set up with the plan also.  



Right now is open enrollment and the hora perfecto pa' empesar.  Now there are more options than when The Trio first started, and there's more help to choose which plans are better for your familia and your budget.  

"1-Year Florida University Plan:
o   Now there is a more affordable way to save for State University credit hours. Introducing the
new 1-Year Florida University Plan
o   You can purchase one year, or 30 credit hours, at a time according to your budget and

team up with other family members to help pay for your child’s higher education
 For example, let Grandma and Grandpa buy one year and you purchase another. A
child can have up to four 1-Year Florida University Plans

2-Year Florida College Plan
o   Set your child up with a practical, affordable path to entering his/her chosen career with an
associate’s degree or trade certification
o   Give your child the advantage over those with only a high school diploma
o   Like all of our plans, every cent of the value of this plan can be applied at any university or
college nationwide
-

from this Plan can be applied to a post-secondary degree or you can get the remaining money
back
o   Like all of our plans, this isn’t just restricted to Florida schools; the amount covered by your
Prepaid Plan can be used at schools nationwide."

Beautifuls, they ain't just whislin' La Guantanamera with these plans. Babushka's girls have used it to finish their education, and MAC will be using the unused portion of monies paid to apply it toward's his son's education. Y ahora tambien, they have something they call "Interactive Conversation" where they will help you learn more about the Prepaid Plans and the 529 Savings Plan. Es Cutisimo Y Buenisimo!! Go ahead and look into it. You AND your hijos will be glad you did, porque they really do grow up before you are ready.


Para mas informacion-  


Y si creen that this is the last BB will speak of Florida College Prepaid- JU SO FONII!!!

Babushka almost begged to be a Mamabassador for the program, that's how useful it has been for The Trio, and how grateful we are to have had this option available to us. 
 Hopefully The Grands will continue the tradition.  

Who's future will you be planning for??

National 529 Day - Florida 529 Savings Plan,BB Could've Used You!!!

This post is sponsored by Florida College Prepaid and Bloggin' Mamas, with personal experiences and views being 100% all Babushka.



college graduation,florida college prepaid, 529 plan

Thanks to the Florida College Prepaid Plan, My Eldest was able to receive her Bachelor’s at Florida State University.


HolaHolaHola My Beautifuls!


Today is 5/29 and we’re going to be talking about the 529 Savings Plan. Clever of la gente del Florida 529 Savings Plan verdad? Also clever is the actual plan itself. A little history and info: “529 savings plans are named after section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code 26 U.S.C. § 529 and are designed to encourage saving for future higher education expenses of a designated beneficiary.” Future education expenses...


As parents, we all want our children to have wonderful lives with marvelous careers.  Even before their birth, we’re already thinking about their future and how we can help them be successful. Babushka was no different. When The Trio were little, the Florida College Prepaid Plan was enacted and thankfully Babushka was able to pay the plan for them. As you saw, My Eldest used the plan to get her Bachelors of Arts, and My Little One just received her AA and is going onto her Bachelors thanks to the plan.  My son MAC went into the Marines and is a Master Electrician, thus he didn’t need his plan and is transferring it to his youngest son.


Back in the day the Florida College 529 wasn’t available, otherwise BB DEFINITELY would have started one. With only $25 Babushka could have opened an account and continued to contribute whenever/whatever was possible. Oh how that would have helped when all the incidentals like lab fees, parking fees, equipment fees, etc. had to be paid! Because I had the Prepaid it was for incidentals, but if you have the 529 Savings plan you could use the plan for so much more. “Money from a 529 plan can be used for tuition, fees, books, supplies and equipment required for study at any accredited college, university or vocational school in the United States and at some foreign universities. The money can also be used for room and board, as long as the fund beneficiary is at least a half-time student. Off-campus housing costs are covered up to the allowance for room and board that the college includes in its cost of attendance for federal financial-aid purposes.

And the flexibility! YOU choose the investment option, then put in as much and as often as you can. “Even if you can’t save for your child’s entire college education, starting something is always better than doing nothing.”  They ain’t just whistln La Guantanamera with that one My Beautifuls!! There are 11 investment options, and as the years and fortunas siguen, you can change how much you contribute and how they’re allocated at any momento.

Another benefit of the 529 Savings Plan? With the 529 plan you’re not limited to enrollment dates and can open it at anytime. That extra dinerito in your birthday card from Tia ? Abre la cuenta. The unexpected bonus del trabajo? Open the account. Use your blessings of today to help with your children’s blessing of mañana.
