15: How to Offset the Cost of Education with a 529 Plan

According to the 2018 Education at a Glance report, the U.S. spends more on college than almost any other country. In fact, the average college tuition in 2018 is nineteen times bigger than it was in 1971. In this episode, Julien and Kiersten Saunders (@richandregular) explain how to offset the cost of education with a 529 plan. Even if a student in your life is not college-bound, 529s are an underrated tool that can be used for K-12 education costs and other qualified education expenses like books, supplies and computers.
