In the last post you heard the horror story about how much college costs now.
Imagine what it will cost in 10 or 20 years. Regardless, it’s not too late to find a way
to make paying for college manageable — not easy, but manageable.

Parents and students have to work together to make college affordable.
The earlier you start, the easier it will be.

There are three basic ways to pay for a college education.

* You can pay for it before your child enrolls by saving.
* You can pay for it while he or she is enrolled in college by working.
* You can pay for it after graduation by paying back student loans.

Many people use a combination of the three strategies.
Think of the best approaches that fit your family’s payment strategy.

Most people will use college financial aid…
- scholarships and grants
- work/study jobs
- student loans

Start planning NOW!

In the next post we’ll start diving into the specifics.
