Financial planning for elementary age kids?

Parents Forum
1

<p>My husband’s employee has elementary aged children and is wanting to put money aside for college expenses. He is a very thoughtful with how he handles his money and wants to research things such as different savings mechanisms such as 529s, asset allocations and protections, safe guarding retirement, etc.</p>

<p>Does anyone know of good books or articles that he could read? When I looked on Amazon, a lot of the books were more geared to applying for financial aid rather than the planning that one does as a parent of a young child.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>I agree, find a good financial advisor. The financial landscape is going to look very different in the next two decades, than it has in the last two decades.</p>
