saving up for my child’s school tuition

Like my parents before me, I am putting stock on good education to be my son’s ticket for a better life in the future. Call me a forward-thinker or just plain worrier, but this early I am already worrying about his school tuition + other school-related expenses. I am un-employed, after all, and school fees are sky-rocketing they’d be way too exorbitant by time am sending Jared to high school, I wonder how am I suppose to afford them!

I guess it will be best practice to put up a savings account for those future expenses as early as now, which I did exactly, + although there is no way I can save up to a million pesos at the rate I am going now, I am only glad that I am doing something for my child’s future + hopefully, I’d be able to start adding up on that saving real soon.

For those of you mums out there who have yet to open an account for your little ones, maybe you can try out this new plan Insular Life is offering specifically for your children’s educational needs. The plans do sound promising + I might just consider them if I haven’t opened an account for Jared earlier on. Here’s more from their press release:
