College costs have climbed faster than general inflation for decades. Nebraska's NEST 529 plan offers a state income tax deduction, which is worth a conversation before you pick an account.
College Savings (529) explained simply
College costs grow every year, so saving early matters a lot. This shows how much to put away each month for a future student.
For example
A newborn today might face far higher tuition in 18 years, so even $200 a month started now goes a long way.
