A smart way to save for college right now is by opening a tax-advantaged 529 account. Inside the account your investment earnings can grow tax-deferred, allowing for a higher return on investment than if the funds were in a taxable account. You can open a 529 account for yourself if you are headed for higher learning or for your children as soon as they are born!

While I was doing this, I recorded my computer screen and narrated what was happening each step of the way. If you are thinking of opening an M1 account, watch my video walkthrough to learn what to expect when you are opening the account and learn the basics about M1.
