Looking for unique gift ideas that your family and friends will appreciate? According to learningcenter.statefarm.com, you should consider one of the three financial gifts that will make a difference for this holiday season.
Just to name a few, here is a holiday finacial difference list:
For Young Children- Contribute to College:
With college costs rising each year, starting a college fund early makes sense. There are various savings options to choose from; some of which have the potential to grow tax-deferred and may qualify as a deduction on your state tax return.
For Teenagers or Young Adults- Book a Session with a Financial Professional:
Help a young person you love start off on the right foot financially by setting up a session with a financial professional. Contact your local insurance or banking agent about helping a young person in your life understand how to achieve their financial goals, such as saving for a car, while teaching them how to establish a budget and use credit cards responsibly.
For Friends or Relatives- Make a Donation:
If you don’t know what to give someone this year, contribute money or needed material goods to their favorite charity. This is a gift you can benefit from too; you may be able to receive an income tax deduction for your contribution.
