Happy 529 Day!! Though I don’t personally sell 529 Plans, we do have an Indiana 529 Plan for Ben and Noah. So parents and grandparents - I encourage you to consider a 529 Plan as a high school or college savings tool. There may be tax benefits for you as well. Plus, if the funding is not used for education and certain metrics are met, it may qualify for a conversion to a Roth IRA. Per usual, a lot of considerations. See additional disclosures at Thrivent.com/social. Talk to a financial advisor or CPA for your specific financial situation.
