Are Your College Savings on Track?

(StatePoint) If you’re like many Americans, college savings may be taking a back seat to other financial priorities right now. Financial advisors want you to know that there are options to maximize education savings that you may not be taking advantage of.

New research from Edward Jones, a leading North American financial services firm, and Morning Consult found that 52% of Americans don’t know what 529 plans are, and only 14% note they have or intend to use one as part of their education savings strategy.
