Episode 190: Taming the High Cost of College with Brad Baldridge

Financial Freedom Podcast - A podcast by Steven J. Richardson, Esq. - Fridays

Categories:

The cost of a college education is getting higher and higher. Students are graduating with crushing debt and are either unable to find a job or can't get one that will earn them enough money to pay the loans. Parents often get into debt by cosigning loans, or sacrifice their retirement. That's why in this episode of the podcast I wanted to talk to someone who could provide advice and strategies on approaching the cost of higher education and making sure that parents and students have a plan in place way before they decide on a school. In this episode you will learn: - Where (and when) to begin the planning process - How to find out the true cost of a school before picking it - How parents can help their children without sacrificing their retirement - Can private schools be as affordable as public ones? - Is there a different strategy for graduate school?
