Worrying about financing your child's college education is only natural. It must be the subject of many sleepless nights, especially when you know that tuition fees will continue to increase—not to mention that the cost of living and making ends meet are already challenging. Picture this: Historically, tuition fees increase between 8% to 10% every year*. Today, your child is just four years old. His college tuition fee by the time he turns 18 would be P1,099,347.00/yr or P4,397,388 in four years!
It feels overwhelming sometimes, but with the right knowledge and adequate planning, you can rest assured your kid's college education is covered.
