Summary

Send your child to college, regardless of what your paycheck says.

Surveys have consistently found that saving for a child’s college education is the top money concern for parents in the US, with over 70 percent saying they’re worried about being able to pay for their child’s education.

Tuition fees are rising year after year, and for many parents, this makes the prospect even more daunting.

So, should you just give up and invest in your child’s present, rather than their future?

The short answer is no - there’s really no need.

Saving for your child’s college education is a process that’s distinctly different from saving for any other purpose, and it’s never too early to start.

Begin now, whether your child is a teen, an infant, or hasn’t even been born yet, and you can ensure that they have access to the education you want for them.

Research has shown that college graduates begin their working life earning 80 percent more than those with only a high school diploma. If you want this for your child, it’s natural to be concerned about how you can help them get there.

But there’s good news: You can do this easily. It’s simply a case of knowing where to start, understanding how to plan, and being equipped to navigate a financial system that seems hell-bent on getting in your way.

In Saving for College, you’ll be given a straightforward breakdown of exactly what you need to do to ensure your child gets the education they deserve. You’ll discover:

  • Practical saving tips that anyone can implement now, even if you haven’t opened a savings account for your child yet
  • Financial management tricks to help you get ahead of the system
  • Ways exactly how you can plan and maximize your savings by the time your child is off to college
  • The number one mistake parents make when saving for their child’s future, and how you can avoid it
  • How (and when) to use financial aid wisely so that you won’t have debt hanging over your head for the next 15+ years

Solid guide for long term saving goals

For most parents, outside of their own home, their children's college tuition will be the single biggest expense in their lifetime.

Therefore it's imperative that they get a headstart so that their child doesn't end up drowning in student loans. In this empowering book you'll find advice that goes beyond just "never go out to eat, never buy anything, cancel Netflix, live in squalor for 18 years"

From both a financial and peace of mind standpoint, this book does a wonderful job in laying out the necessary gameplan for parents who plan to pay for their kids' college.

I ABSOLUTELY recommend!!

Helpful doesn't even begin to describe how incredible this book is. Its so well written and now I have more ideas than I ever thought of to really start preparing for my children's futures! I would recommend those who read it take notes or listen multiple time simply because there is so much great advice it'll be hard to remember it all. Lots of strategies most people think of, but then it gets creative and goes way more in depth about all the possible opportunities to really do it well. To be as smart and effective as you can possibly be in achieving this goal. I liked especially some of the parts about student loans and different options through banks that I had no idea even existed! Nor would have understood before if I tried! The do's and don'ts, the ups and downs. It really is just an incredible read and source of amazingly helpful information. 2 thumbs, 5 stars and would recommend to anybody even without children for some ways to help you save before its too late.

Clear and informative

College has become so expensive that it is now actually a decision that needs to be heavily thought about whether it is worth it or not. financing college on top of this difficult decision is an absolute nightmare. so i bought this book as part of helping me make this decision, not only did this book help me with ideas to finance college it also convinced me of the choice to go.
