Here are three back-to-school reminders (for grown-ups, too):<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\ud83c\udf92<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><b>1. Education savings doesn\u2019t start in senior year.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you\u2019ve got little ones headed to kindergarten or teens eyeing college campuses, this is a great time to check in on your 529 plans or other education savings. A small, regular contribution now can make a big difference later \u2014 think of it like buying school supplies in June instead of August. Less panic, better prices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\ud83d\ude8c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><b>2. Budget reboots aren\u2019t just for new lunchboxes.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Back-to-school often brings new schedules, new expenses, and (let\u2019s be honest) a new level of chaos. Use this transition to revisit your monthly budget. Maybe you\u2019ve been spending more on summer fun \u2014 now\u2019s a smart time to realign things and avoid the financial version of forgetting gym clothes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\ud83d\udcda<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><b>3. Learn something new about your finances.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kids aren\u2019t the only ones who should be learning this fall. Set a goal to expand your own financial knowledge \u2014 whether it\u2019s understanding your investment mix, digging into retirement options, or just asking, \u201cWhy\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">do<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0I keep getting those Medicare mailers?\u201d (We can help with that, too.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s make this school year the one where your financial strategy gets an A+.
