Preparing for the Cost of College (#0719-1567)

We all want our children or grandchildren to grow up to be healthy, wealthy, and wise. While a good college education generally provides a solid foundation in that direction, many parents are intimidated by the potential costs involved in paying for college. Instead of side­stepping the issue, take time to plan, save, and enlist professional help in reaching your college funding goals.

I can help you assess your situation to provide a unique solution to your needs, taking into account your individual situation. For example, families with young children may simply need to establish a routine savings plan with the appropriate investment choices, such as a Section 529 plan. On the other hand, parents with children nearing college age with very little set aside for college costs might need to save significant sums of money as well as conduct a thorough analysis of financial aid possibilities.

Planning ahead, whether your child is young or nearing college age, will allow you to assess all the options available to you and your future college student, selecting those best for your situation. Call today to get started. Your child’s path to becoming healthy, wealthy, and wise starts with you.

The Rising Costs of College (#0719-1568)

One of the most significant expenses a family may face is the cost of a college education for their children. Not only are college costs increasing at an alarming rate, many parents are forced to deal with the cost of college at a time when they should be concentrating on saving for their own retirements. Some strategies to consider include:

  • If possible, start saving for college as soon as your child is born. Make sure you save regularly so that compound interest will work for you for many years.
  • When your child enters high school, begin moving your portfolio to more liquid investments so you’ll have the available cash to meet upcoming college bills.
  • Part of the college application process should be to apply for financial aid and familiarize yourself with all aid options. You will need to learn the rules and regulations pertaining to financial aid to avoid missing opportunities for loans or grants.

If you’d like more details, please call, and we can begin working on a college plan for your children.
