Never Overpay for College Again
Crystal starts our conversation by sharing what inspired her to help families with college planning. With more than a decade of experience, she has seen it all, and she has pinpointed the biggest mistake families make when it comes to paying for college. It’s an easy trap to fall into, but Crystal can help families lower the cost. She describes the simple process she walks them through here.
It’s so easy to overpay for college, and Crystal offers reasons that tuition is such a challenge for so many families today. We’ve all seen how college tuition costs have skyrocketed in the past few decades, and wages have not kept up. Is covering tuition costs a blind spot? Or simply something without obvious solutions widely available?
Planning ahead helps. What should parents of middle school or high school students be doing right now to avoid overpaying later? What can listeners do today to ease tuition costs down the line?
