The one decision though that our children should not have to consider once they’ve earned a spot is can I afford to go? There’s one thing that can help parents out with this decision to encourage our children to be a success as they earn their path to college. Have you considered a prepaid college option?
Florida Prepaid Program
Time is running out for enrolling in Florida PrePaid for 2017. Florida Residents don’t miss out! Enrollment ends February 28th 2017. I even have a promo cold for you to save on your application fee!
We used Florida Prepaid for my son’s college degree from the University of Florida. I felt like we gave him a jumpstart for his career by simply believing in him at an early age that we know he was destined to attend college and give him the chance to be debt free when he graduated. We’ve also invested in our daughter who’s now getting ready to enter middle school. The safety in knowing that we’ve invested in her future and that she know’s we believe in her takes a lot of stress about her future college path.
This year it’s time for our family to consider enrolling our youngest daughter. She just started Kindergarten this fall. I feel like her preschool graduation was just yesterday. Here’s a few photos of her on her last day of VPK all grown up and ready to celebrate her first year of school. Goodness, is it really time to start thinking about college tuition? The answer is YES.
