The goal is to get kids (and parents, of course) to start early and get in the habit of planning and saving for later goals. It will only help them in the long-run. Even lower-income families can save, and every little bit helps. I'm speaking from experience; we were poor, my parents still managed to save. They didn't buy beer, new cars, or go on vacations, but they managed to help me get through school. I still had a $40K student loan over 5 years, but, thanks to my education, I have a good job I wouldn't have had otherwise. And my loan will be paid off in 3 weeks...and counting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
