Dream Big. Plan Ahead.

'UHDP %LJ 3ODQ $KHDG

%VENTS Events ,V LW WRR ODWH WR SODQ IRU FROOHJH" Is it too late to plan for college?

Dear NextGen: 'HDU 1H[W*HQ

"

Many parents I k n o w

started college f u n d s before their children started

" # $% "

kindergarten. My children are 7 and 14 and my wife and I haven't invested

"

anything for college. Is it too late to start now?

It's # ! ! ! & ! # never too late or too early to begin investing for your children's " ! * ! ! education. The important

! ! & " thing is to get started.

If you've been hesitating because there's not much money to spare ! ! ! ! ! & " # ! ! " ! ! " & !

or because college is too far in the future to be a priority, keep in mind that any money " ! ! "!" ! !& ! ! & & you can put aside for college today may help you replace future college debt. That's $ & why & " "! ! & & & " "!" ! * !

NextGen offers many different investment options, including age-based, diversified and %! + & + ! # ! ! ! " # , single fund portfolios, and the Principal Plus Portfolio, to help meet your college investing " ! !

" ! ! ! & " # ! needs !! $ ! ! ! , & % %! no matter what the age of the beneficiary. For example, NextGen's age-based portfolio

! options invest your money more aggressively when the beneficiary is young, and to ! # ! & " & # & $ ! , & & " shift - ! more conservative investments as the beneficiary gets older.

You might want to consider # ! # # ! ! ! , & ! " ! $ ! ! age-based options & " ! $ ! ! ! # & & " " ! & " if you don't want to actively manage your account, or if you prefer more

! of a "set it and forget it" strategy. ' ! ! ! !) ! ! &

Dear NextGen: 'HDU 1H[W*HQ " " ! "

Over the years, I've put money into NextGen accounts set up for my nieces and nephews.

Now,

%& at age 4 9 , 1 want to go back to school. Can I start a NextGen

! account for myself?

" In a word, YES! You can open a NextGen account and name yourself the beneficiary. There

$ " %! " ! & " as ! , & * no age limit to making contributions ! $ ! $ or taking withdrawals. * This " $ " could be a wonderful is ! ! ! "! opportunity for you to change careers " and pursue your own dreams. $ Who knows ( & - maybe !" !& & " ! " & " $ your nieces $ and nephews $ ! "! ! & " %! " ! ! & & " will contribute to your NextGen account to repay your generosity! & " !&
