"College is wonderful because it takes the children away from home just as they reach the arguing stage." -Will Rogers
What's not so wonderful is the cost of attending college which has doubled in the last ten years and is projected to triple in the next twenty years. The ways of paying for higher education have changed and as a result are creating substantial financial stress upon the graduating student and their families. It's occurring because parents and students have come to rely on student loans as a matter of course and an accepted way of life.
Student loans have proliferated almost exponentially in the last decade due to a mindset modeled in the home and reinforced through marketing of loan programs by financial, educational and governmental institutions. The long-range implications and effects of student loans and credit card debt are now adding another crucial factor to the financial strain on middle class America.
Finding ways to obtain a college education without incurring substantial debt is today's and tomorrow's challenge for parents and students. The purpose and goal of this booklet is to; help stimulate the thinking process; inspire a realistic solution and motivate parents to take action in creating a positive learning environment within their family. The desired result or outcome is for the development of financial competency, awareness and to guide their students through college without the burden of long-term debt.
