Tackling the daunting challenge of saving for college requires early planning, consistent effort, and understanding all available options. Frankie and Alfredo share their personal experiences and practical strategies to help families navigate the journey toward funding higher education.
- Average four-year college costs now approach $100,000 for in-state students including room and board.
- Personal savings, scholarships, and federal student aid form the foundation of college funding.
- 529 plans offer tax advantages and can be rolled into Roth IRAs if education plans change.
- Starting small with consistent contributions makes the large goal more manageable.
- Understanding student loans before taking them prevents post-graduation financial struggles.
- Even small sacrifices like skipping two lattes weekly can add $520 annually to college savings each year.
- Premier America Foundation offers scholarships annually to qualifying students
Weekly Family Challenge: Research a college or trade school you're interested in, determine its cost, and create a small, achievable saving goal to start working toward now.
