Education Funding

Whether you’re paying tuition costs now or saving for a future goal, it’s important to ensure that your education strategy is compatible with achieving your retirement income and related financial objectives.

Tax considerations and retirement income needs must be weighed and evaluated before choosing a specific strategy. Bear in mind that while education expenses can be funded through borrowing, retirement expenses cannot.
