College finances

I’m Miriam Neff, and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan, with Wise Women Managing Money

M College costs can be a huge expense in a family budget.  Parents and grandparents, let’s talk options.  Regardless of children’s age, it’s never too early to plan and learn. 

V   Choices vary widely.  We know that a college degree does not guarantee an income that will pay off college debt.  College costs vary widely from two-year community programs to four-year price tags of over a quarter million dollars.   One sure plan is to set aside savings now.

M remember that we are to provide for our families wisely but not to our own poverty.  Education and training can be a valid part of helping that child do so for their family.
