In light of the national student loan crisis, parents and students continue to struggle with college choice and financial aid to avoid an unaffordable student debt load upon graduation. I have dedicated several episodes to guests who help people with that.
One balancing act parents go through is educating their children while still saving and investing for a comfortable retirement. That's why in this episode of the podcast I talk with Certified Financial Planner Paul Compeau about how to do just that.
In this episode you will learn:
-
- What happens when families pick a college without a solid financial plan
- What financial facts should parents know before the applications start
- Are high school guidance counsellors or the financial aid office of their top picks enough
- Why you should approach college planning like a CFO
- Should you always fill out the FAFSA
