Michael Strain: Parents seek college savings flexibility amid uncertain costs and competing goals
Parents seek flexible college savings

Some parents are hesitant to lock money into college-savings accounts, according to Michael Strain. Instead, they prefer to maintain flexibility in their finances as educational costs and savings goals continue to compete in an unpredictable environment.

Strain points to the shifting attitudes of parents facing decisions on how best to allocate funds for their children's education.

Strain has highlighted threats to U.S. consumer finances in other contexts. In April, he warned that an Iran-linked oil shock could worsen U.S. inflation. He has also argued that the Federal Reserve must return inflation to its target to support economic stability.
