Message from Lynn: Dear Friends: Archimedes once said: "Give me a place to stand and I will move the world" As parents we work to give our children that place to stand so that they may become valuable, contributing members of society. I, along with many others, believe a college education is that place to stand. Unfortunately, the cost of post-secondary education continues to increase. Thankfully many tax breaks and credits are available to lessen the impact on our pocket books. February's MoneyWise will explain the many options that are available to those of you who are already paying college expenses and those of you who will be soon. Plus, tax credits and child and dependent care credits are explained in this month's newsletter. I hope you find this month's MoneyWise useful! It is my pleasure to serve as your State Treasurer.
