The Tuition Dilemma: Paying for College and Retirement

Many parents struggle with saving for their own future while paying for their children’s education. It’s a tough call, your future or theirs. The decision doesn’t have to be all or nothing.  In this episode, I talk to Matt Meline about how you can balance saving for retirement while paying college expenses for your kids and how to prepare for life after your kids leave the nest.  Matt is the Founder and CEO of PrairieFire Wealth Planning in Des Moines, Iowa.  After an eventful journey of sending his four children to college and becoming an Empty Nester, he authored the book Empty Nest Full Pockets.  He hopes to help other parents navigate the challenging transition of getting one's kids ready to launch while also preparing to become an awesome empty nester!  He believes in life-centered financial planning, which focuses on his client's return on life, not just their return on investment.
