Sharing comes naturally to grandparents. You treasure your grandchildren and your time with them is precious. For your grandchildren, your time and attention are the most valuable gifts they'll receive from you.
As your grandchildren grow, much of what they will need comes with a price tag. It may be summer camp. It's likely to be college tuition.
Financial contributions from a grandparent can make a critical difference in the opportunities and experiences open to grandchildren. And starting to invest in your grandchildren's future when they are young can achieve an even greater impact than you may have imagined.
AARP Financial Inc. has just completed a first-of-its-kind research study about grandparents' thoughts and habits as it relates to financial gifts to grandchildren.
Grandparents who find joy in giving to their grandchildren will learn there are steps they can take now to optimize their gift giving. Read the Principles for Investing in Your Grandchildren to help you on your way.
