Start Planning Now
There are steps you can take now that will have a significant impact on your education savings. A BMO investment
professional specializes in helping you to define your objectives and implement strategies to achieve them.
What You Can Expect
A discussion on your personal goals, current financial situation and your education savings expectations will take place. This
is an excellent opportunity to ask questions and explore possibilities. Your BMO investment professional will work with you
and provide recommendations on how to achieve your financial goals.
Factors That Impact Saving For Education
Planning for your childs education is an ongoing process that will dramatically increase the likelihood of realizing the goals
you set. As you get closer to the start of your childs program, you will probably adjust your priorities and goals to align with
your decisions on your childs educational needs. But its important to also consider factors beyond your control. Be sure to
ask your BMO investment professional to help you address this type of variable in your education savings plan.
Plan For Variables Beyond Your Control
Length of educational program The average university program is four years, however, some technical,
vocational or trade programs vary. And a program that requires multiple degrees will be more costly.
If the school is local vs away You will pay more for your childs education depending on where he or she decides
to live. If your child opts to attend a local university or college, they could live at home to save costs. Once you start
looking at schools further away from home you will need to factor in monthly living costs such as rent and food as
well as furnishing and travel costs.
Inflation Have you factored in the possibility of inflation? Education savings is often a longer-term goal and tuition
costs could increase significantly over the years until your child attends post-secondary education.
Duration to start of educational goal How long until your child is expected to attend post-secondary education?
The longer the time period, the longer you have to contribute to a savings vehicle. The sooner you start contributing
and collecting the Canada Education Savings Grant, the longer those funds have to compound.
