Time is Precious & So Is Education. Prepare Ahora porque #StartingIsBelieving w/ @FloridaPrepaid ad

Babushka is a Bloggin' Mamas Florida Prepaid Mamabassador and is compensated for this post, pero as stated before, the real compensation comes with knowing BB's provided The Trio & now The Grands with an ayudita in their future. Opinions stated are 100% Babushka's.


MyFloridaPrepaid.com

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

There's a great quote on the Florida Prepaid Main Site page-

Your little one will be ready for college before you’re ready to let them go.
 Start saving today.

They ain't just whistlin' La Guantanamera Beautifuls!


It was just ayer that Babushka was saving for The Trio's college education, and now she's getting ready to save for Grands #5!! El tiempo is a fast traveler and the best travel plan is saving for their college/university tiempo ahora. Go ahead and start. What's the peor that could happen?  Here are some misconceptions and fears que BB's gonna stop right now.  


You do not lose your monies nor your plans if you move out of Florida, AND Florida Prepaid isn’t restricted to Florida schools; the amount covered by your Prepaid Plan can be used at schools nationwide. Not only that, pero if you move out of Florida after purchasing a Prepaid Plan, your child would still be billed at in-state tuition rates when using their plan at a Florida college or state university.


And what if your child decides classrooms aren't para ellos? Este BB knows first hand. My son MAC decided to skip university and is now a Master Electrician. So don't worry If your child doesn’t go to college, you can change the beneficiary of the Prepaid Plan or get your money back. Ahora the dinero Babushka had on the plan for him,he put towards Rinquincaya's, his son's, education. Nothing lost, and now the next generation's future is gained.



It doesn't take a lot to help in your loved ones future. The earlier you start, the younger they are, the lower the monthly cost. Imagine the possibilities you give them, how your confidence in their potential is shown with the Florida Prepaid College Board plans.

Go ahead and sign up, porque you know you want to. You want to let them know how much potential they have and what an education will give them. Pa' luego es tarde because their time to attend college will arrive much faster than you expect. Open Enrollment ends on Feb.28, 2017 #StartingisBelieving - in all of you.


BB2U

Ok, Babushka knows there are some questions todavia. Here it is straight from ellos-

"Florida Prepaid College Plans allow you to prepay the future cost of college. When your child is ready for college, the plan pays the tuition, tuition differential fee and other specified fees covered under the plan.
Guaranteed – Every Prepaid Plan is guaranteed by the State of Florida, so you will never lose your investment.
Nationwide – Even if your child attends an out-of-state or private college, the plan will pay the same amount as it would pay at a public college or university in Florida.
Scholarships – If your child receives a scholarship, you can get a refund for the same amount as the plan would pay a public college or university in Florida.
10 Years – Your child has up to 10 years after his or her year of projected enrollment to use the plan."

So now that your hesitations and qualms se terminaron, BB not give you one more ayudita?
  JU SO FONII!!!

Use the PromoCode BLOG1617 to save 50% of the enrollment fee.

BB is part of the Florida Prepaid Bloggin'Mamas Campaign and has been compensated by them for this post. 
However, all opinions are Babushka's and she's been very compensated by how well the plans worked out for The Trio.

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!!

No se about y'all but that thought of The Grands having to pay back student loans mete miedo. If BB didn't already have sexy silver lifelites before, they'd definitely come in with that! Ahora, we all want our hijos de succeed and sabemos that their odds are better with a college degree, but what about the extra burden put on them if they had to pay it all themselves? Felizmente there are lots of options to lighten their load, porque Babushka not do something to ayudar? JU SO FONII!!!




http://www.myfloridaprepaid.com/what-we-offer/



Vieron all the plans available? And you can combine them! For Dr. J, Babushka will get the 2 year Florida College Plan and his parents and other abuelos can each get one year for him too. That way his 4 years are covered. ESO! So there will be NO STUDENT DEBT.


ESSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!


So what plans will you be getting for your little ones?

Move Over Santa. Grandma's Giving a Gift that Lasts a Lifetime. #StartingisBelieving

BB is part of the Florida Prepaid Mama'Bassadors program, a joint campaign between the 
Florida Prepaid College people & Bloggin' Mamas. This is a sponsored post that is totally from Babushka's opinion y corazon and ahora going on the second generation of recipients.



Florida college prepaid  #StartingIsBelieving

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

It's almost Navidad. The joyous, happy time of year when we think what regalos would our loved ones want.  Of course, as an abuela BB wants The Grands to be happy, and at their edad that almost definitely means juguetes.  But toys get broken or fall out of grace, and Babushka learned con The Trio that time goes so quickly, and before you know it they've graduated highschool and off to college. Por eso once again the Florida College Prepaid Plan is on this Santa's gift list.  

Now que exactamente is a Florida Prepaid College Plan? "A Florida Prepaid College Plan allows families to prepay, on a monthly or lump-sum basis, the future cost of college tuition, specified fees and dormitory housing. When your child is ready for college, the plan pays the tuition, tuition differential fee and other specified fees covered under the plan at any Florida College or State University. If your child attends an out-of-state college or private college, the plan will pay the same amount as it would pay at a public college or university in Florida. Every Prepaid Plan is guaranteed by the State of Florida."

BUENISIMO verdad? Ahora it's just a matter of picking the best options for your familia's plans and budget.  There are five prepaid plans available:




Babushka and Sweetie decided to get the 1 year Florida University plan for Dr. J right now. The most economical of the plans, it's also the option that lets various people join in the purchasing. If his other grandparents want, they can purchase the same, and so can his parents. Right there he's got 3 years of university covered. Should he decide he wants to start at a college instead of a university, he can pay that lower tuition and the unused portion goes toward the post secondary degree. And don't let the "Florida" in the name make you think the plan is only good in Florida. Like all their plans, the amount covered can be used nationwide. 

Florida Prepaid College  1 year University Plan #StartingIsBelieving Presents

Did you read those Beautifuls? The last bullet point is why we don't have to pay for Grands #6 Florida Prepaid. My son, his dad, didn't use all of his plan and transferred it to his child. One gift that went towards TWO college educations.TWO generations. Now that's the best Twofer Babushka's ever had.


So why did BB include toys with the presents?  
JU SO FONII!!!  

Gifts of a lifetime, NOW and later.

HOY para el dia de Mañana. @FloridaPrepaid #StartingIsBelieving

A sponsored post, but 100% verdad, heartfelt, sincere, and Babushka's. 
Gracias to Fl Prepaid College Fund and Bloggin' Mamas for picking BB for this campaign.


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
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."

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??
