Peter Pan would never have been able to cut it in college…

Why? He never wanted to GROW UP!
And, you need your kid to step up to the plate by the time you drop them off at college. Graduation does not an adult make, however...so, one mustn’t assume that having a diploma in hand will automatically mature a high schooler.
Not every grad possesses the life skills needed to be out on their own. Life skills – you know – looking people in the eye, feeding yourself, and solving everyday problems. How does your child fare in the area of life skills? Adulting 101 boils it down to the 10 critical life skills for teens. And if you want to take it a step further, this book will help. |

If you and your child are lucky enough to have relatives (like grandparents) who are eager to help contribute to their college education, rejoice! And thank them, of course.
And then, school them on how to do that in a way that will benefit everyone. The simple act of writing a check may not be the the smartest way to get the most for their investment.

How Much Can You Afford To Pay For College?
Last year, we asked parents to submit their answers about how much they thought they could afford to pay for college, and the data we collected was eye-opening!
Well, the responses were SO enlightening that we are asking for your input once again. We love when parents pay it forward, and in supplying us with your feedback you are doing just that.
So, could you PLEASE fill out our survey?? We will report back on how this group responded and detail all the ways they are paying for college. |
