These projections are certainly startling for most parents as they ask a common question: “How will we be able to afford a college education for our children?” Fortunately, federal legislation has created a tax-friendly form of saving for college, commonly referred to as the 529 Plan. Every state has enacted legislation to authorize the use of 529 Plan assets in their colleges. Individuals generally may deposit annually $12,000 (up to $60,000 at one time to cover five years of gifts) into a special type of investment for the education of the beneficiary, typically one’s child or grandchild (although the beneficiary could be any person). Most state 529 Plans allow an individual to contribute, in the aggregate, over $200,000 per beneficiary, though consideration should be given to the federal estate and gift tax ramifications of such contributions. 529 Plans offer a number of distinct advantages over traditional forms of college savings, such as Uniform Transfers to Minors Act (“UTMA”) accounts and irrevocable trusts. With UTMA accounts, when a beneficiary reaches age 21, he or she would be able to withdraw all of the funds in the account to use as he or she wishes. The possible use of custodial assets for undesirable purposes may be addressed with the implementation of an irrevocable trust. However, in either case, the funds are subject to ongoing income tax. By contrast, contributions to a 529 Plan grow free of federal income tax for as long as the funds remain in the Plan. Historically, these Plans were often criticized due to limited investment options that resulted in mediocre performance, thus negating the advantage of tax-free growth. Over time, though, with increased popularity and the ability for individuals to invest funds in Plans of any state (regardless of residence or desired school location), 529 Plan investment options have become much more varied, resulting in worthwhile investment returns . . . → Read More: Saving for College With 529 Education Plans Micro Electric Cigarette There are an almost endless number of reasons to stop smoking.

You know that they are unhealthy for you and everyone around you, and that sooner or later you will more than likely succumb to some disease because of your habit. But, for many smokers, the health scares are not enough reason to quit. Many smokers need something more important than their own mortality to scare them away from cigarettes. Perhaps the most compelling argument to stop smoking cigarettes is the cost itself. With a pack of cigarettes costing well over £6 a pack in most parts of the country, someone with a pack a day habit is spending an awful lot of money every year on cigarettes. This is not to mention the money they are spending to take care of the health problems that the cigarettes are causing. If you were to stop smoking cigarettes for just one year, you would be able to put away enough money to pay for several month’s worth of car payments, a year’s worth of car insurance, or even a mortgage payment or two. Imagine wasting that much money with every puff you take! If the price of smoking both in terms of money and your health is not enough to make you want to quit, then maybe shame will do it. Do you know how bad you stink when you are a smoker? You probably don’t realize it because your sense of smell is dulled. But, ask any ex-smoker and they will be able to tell you that they tell instantly if someone is a smoker, just by the way they smell. It is a foul, offensive odor, and no matter how many showers you take, and how many times you wash your clothes, that smell is always with you . . . → Read More: Why Stop Smoking Cigarettes?
