Better Understanding College Expense Planning

Have you ever wondered how it could be that college cost inflation has doubled that of wages over the past 30 years? It would seem that the cost to earn a degree should rise in lockstep with that of wages, as society more and more insists that a college degree is required to have an opportunity to make an honest living. Well, we know this isn’t the case. 

Today we explore a little history on how and why college costs have skyrocketed while wages have not. We then look at these driving forces to better understand what we may expect in the years ahead as we plan for the education of the next generation. 

We discuss the best strategies for planning for college costs. We also uncover how grandparents, family, and friends may most effectively help a student fund their education goals. And we talk about some lesser known strategies which may be more appropriate depending on your personal circumstances and needs. Today on the Carriage House Planning report: Better understanding college expense planning.
