With the kids back at school, mums and pumpkins adorning front porches and steps, and leaves falling prematurely, it is hard not to believe that this glorious Buffalo summer is over. As I waited in a long line behind a school bus as it was loading, I thought how, in a blink of an eye, the parents of those elementary schoolers will be faced with how to fund their precious one's college education. Then I remembered an article Dopkins Wealth Management, LLC posted earlier this week about when saving for a child or grandchild’s college education, many individuals choose 529 college savings plans because of their tax advantages.
