Plan and save early for your child's future especially education.
Providing children the ideal opportunity for learning and development is any parentโs priority. ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ง And as the cost of education goes on rising each day, it is necessary to invest in savings plans that offer sufficient funds to meet the expenses at key educational milestones in their lives.
Here are some BENEFITS if you invest early in a child education plan.

- The fees for higher education are becoming increasingly unaffordable, such that you may have to avail a loan to meet your child's education needs. If you have wisely started investing in a child plan at an early age, then the investment sum gathered at the time of maturity will be adequate to meet the inflated fees of colleges.
๐ฎ. ๐๐๐ผ๐ถ๐ฑ ๐๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น ๐๐ผ๐ฎ๐ป๐:
- The most common way to arrange funds for expensive degrees is an educational loan. If youโre a young parent, you might yourself be paying your education loans right now. Why take up additional liability? Your savings/investment that you started doing today will help you and your child the most in the future.

- Through an endowment plan for child education, you get the dual benefits of insurance and investments. If the parent purchasing the child plan is not around anymore, then the insurance company pays a sum assured immediately and periodic annual pay-outs until the end of the policy tenure. These pay-outs are sufficient to pay your child's school fees in your absence.

- The premium paid are tax exempted unlike fixed deposits or equity shares which attract a long-term capital gains tax.
A lot of parents feel cost of education will be cheaper in the future, well if it is cheaper, the money saved is still yours, if it is expensive, at least you have saved up for it, in both scenarios it is a win-win. So start early and as soon as possible.
The formula to know how much to save, its about 5% of your monthly income which you should save.
