Fund Your Child’s Education Without Significantly Reducing Your Lifestyle or Derailing Your Retirement
Most Families Aren’t Financially Prepared for College
Most parents are concerned about how they are going to fund their children’s college education. This often results in a significant change in parents lifestyle, having to settle on the college your child attends, or increased debt for both the parents and the student.
From working with many families, we’ve seen first-hand the right and wrong way to plan for college. This allowed us to create a process that actually works.
Proven College Planning Process
Our 4-step process is designed to increase your cash flow when you need it most – during your kid’s college years – so that you can send them to their dream school and not have to reduce your current lifestyle or derail your retirement to do so.
Our process helps you:
- Identify Funding Inefficiencies: Review your current approach to college funding to see where you’re not maximizing your money.
- Modify Funding Strategy: Adjust your approach to maximize cash flow, reduce lifestyle impact, and increase your eligibility for financial aid.
- Assess & Apply to Schools: Assess your student’s strengths and weaknesses, identify the best-fit schools, and apply.
- Finalize Negotiations & Funding Plan: Negotiate with your short list to get the best price and finalize your funding plan to maximize aid and minimize debt.
Families that use our process see real, life-changing results: Ideal school and education for their children. Not overpaying for college. Minimizing short and long-term debt for themselves and their children. And retaining their current lifestyle.
