Saving for your child's future

It's tempting to start a college fund right away. An emergency fund usually comes first.

In order

1. Build an emergency fund
2. Keep saving for your own retirement
3. Consider a 529 education savings plan when you're ready
4. Ask relatives to give to the 529 instead of more toys

Protect the family

Consider life insurance and a will to name a guardian.
