(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070503/NETH043 ) Everyone knows saving for college is not easy. Expenses for many colleges continue to increase and few parents are prepared. With the Futuretrust(R) college savings program, it's never too early to start saving. Whether your child is in preschool, kindergarten or high school, Futuretrust helps families begin to save for their child's education before birth and throughout their lives. The program is simple. The Futuretrust MasterCard(R), and merchant partners contribute a portion of every purchase into a tax-free 529 college savings plan. The program can be linked to any 529 plan and Futuretrust can help members open a 529 plan through partners such as TIAA-CREF(R) and AXA Advisors. Parents, grandparents and anyone who is interested can join the Futuretrust program and earn a minimum of 1% every time they make a purchase. Members can also earn additional college savings when they use the Futuretrust MasterCard at thousands of partners in the Futuretrust Preferred Merchant Network consisting of major retail chains, catalogs, restaurants and on-line merchants. Families can buy, sell or finance their home with some of America's top real estate and mortgage companies. Unlike other savings programs, with Futuretrust, there is no cap on the amount of rebates earned and the program can be linked to all 529 plans. There is no cost to join and no annual fee. "All parents worry about saving for their child's college education," said Rebecca Matthias, Founder and President of Futuretrust. "With Futuretrust, parents are not alone. The amazing network of merchant and financial service partners gives families the resources and support they need to successfully save for their child's future. There is no substitute for an education and with the Futuretrust college savings program, the more you spend, the more you save." This year, celebrate a child's future by investing in Futuretrust. Starting to save today will provide your child a successful tomorrow. Futuretrust. http://www.futuretrust.com/ or 1.888.trust68.
