THE CHURCH TEA
HOLIDAY SAVINGS
Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and you will delight in the richest of fare. Isaiah 55:2 NIV Christmas season 2015 is now in full effect. And according to the American Research Group, Inc., shoppers around the country say they are planning to spend an average of $882 for gifts this holiday season, up from $861 last year. Rather than wasting your time or money going into debt buying gifts that people rarely remember, consider holiday savings. This year think about giving a financial investment. Spending money on gaming systems that children aren’t interested in after four months is futile. Instead consider opening a bank account with your child. And make them do something around the house to earn the money they deposit into the account. This will start a wonderful conversation on the value of money and saving for the things they want. As a parent or grandparent open or contribute to a tax advantage 529 - college savings plan. There are two types of 529 plans: savings and prepaid plans. •529 Savings Plans – These plans work just like 401Ks and IRAs. The money you contribute is invested in mutual funds. As a state-sponsored investment plan, the state coordinates with an asset management company to handle the investment according to the state’s plan features. The owner of the account (i.e. the parents or grandparent) deals directly with the asset management firm rather than with the state. The beneficiary (your child or grandchild) is the person for whom the account is set up and who will use the money for college. •529 Prepaid Tuition Plans – Prepaid tuition plans, also called guaranteed savings plans, are administered by states and higher education institutions. They allow families to plan for future college expenses by pre-paying tuition, locking in today’s tuition rate. And the program
pays future college tuition at any of the state’s eligible institutions. If the student goes to an out-of-state or private college or university, an equal amount of money is distributed. Savings Bonds also make excellent gifts because they grow by earning interest, they can be owned directly by the child, and they can be purchased as gifts. Remember, along with savings comes financial responsibility and good stewardship. The church I attend provided a video training by Financial Peace University that stressed the importance of tithes and offerings while teaching skills on how to manage money. So, be sure to use the services of your own church community first. And lastly, support the businesses that give back to you. Have an excellent holiday and remember, “Jesus is the reason for the season!” Until next time be sure to listen to me and Rev. Wingo Fridays from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. on WOLB 1010AM as we discuss current events and interesting topics in the faith based communities. Email me: annwilliams@ ramovers.com.
