Erik Garcia, CFP® and Stuff About Money dig into BIG questions. I joined to talk about how to save, plan and pay for college. That's pretty big!!! We dug deep in this fast moving, fun convo. One takeaway: DO NOT DIP INTO RETIREMENT SAVINGS TO PAY FOR YOUR KID'S COLLEGE. As Erik said: you can't borrow for retirement. Tons more food-for-thought about how to save (529s), plan (like Nike sez: Just Do it!!) and pay (student loans should be a last resort) for college. Listen for more tips/advice and let us know what else you need to get a better outcome for your family. Thanks Erik. I enjoy talking with you and am honored to by a 4-time guest and hope to be a five-time guest! 😀 #fafsa #collegesavings #collegeadmissions #529plans #collegeplanning #financialaid #studentloans #studentsuccess

🎙️ Episode 10 Highlight with Zack - How Relevant is Our Educational System. Full Episode: https://buff.ly/3SBtt50 🎙️ In this thought-provoking segment, Zack Stoutimore challenges the traditional structure of education, asserting that it was initially designed with specific goals that may no longer be relevant in today's world. He delves into the historical origins of education, pointing out its roots in small schoolhouses with breaks aligned to farming and harvest seasons. According to Zack, these foundational aspects, deeply rooted in historical necessities, might not align with the current needs and perspectives of our society. Furthermore, Zack suggests that despite the evolution of our world and the shifting priorities, certain educational systems persist due to the inertia of tradition—followed simply because "it's the way we've always done it." The conversation implies a critical examination of whether these historical foundations are still serving a meaningful purpose in contemporary education. By offering this perspective, the soundbite challenges listeners to reconsider the underlying assumptions and structures in education.

✨ "Students and parents wildly overestimate how difficult it is to get into college and often underestimate how difficult it is to get through college to get to completion." ✨ "The truth is, the majority of colleges, admit the majority of applicants, the majority of the time." ✨"We do believe that every student is COLLEGE CAPABLE." ✨ "You can take that anxiety piece away and focus on making the best choice for you." Direct admission is an emerging promising practice in college access and completion. This conversation between F. Janelle Hannah Jefferson, Ph.D at Complete College America Aaron and Wendy from Minnesota Office of Higher Education gives a comprehensive overview of their program: the what, why, and how. #studentsuccess #collegecompletion #highered #collegeaccess #ccadoesthework
