When is the right time to open a savings account for your children?
|
|
Before you have kids, planning for them is easy. You have wild dreams about how you will open their college account, teach them how to save their money by the age of 2, and imagine that they will be financially independent by the time they’re 15. Of course, after you have your first kid, that all changes when you buy that first box of diapers and discover they are more expensive than you could have ever imagined. You have to plan and budget more than you realize, and you’re left wondering, “When should I open a savings account for my kid?” The answer depends on what the end goal of the account is.

College Savings
When saving for college, you want the most amount of time possible. Compounding interest is on your side, so if you can open the college savings account (most often a 529 College Savings Plan is used) as soon the baby is born, that would be ideal. Of course, it would also be ideal if you could dump $20,000 into this account right away and not worry about it for the next 18 years, but that most likely won’t happen. The bottom line is that a college savings account should be opened as soon as possible, and systematic deposits made into the account.
Emergency and Opportunity Savings
There are two kinds of savings involved here, but both involve storing up cash. An
Eagle Kids Savings Club
account would be a great emergency fund savings, whereas opportunity money (for children, at least) is often held in a piggy bank.
The best time to open these accounts will vary greatly depending on the developmental levels of the child. But a good rule of thumb is when the child can understand the value of money; they can understand the idea that storing up that money will allow them to make larger purchases. By the time they are in first grade, most children will have a good grasp of these concepts.
