| Can We Really Afford College?
Most families use a combination of savings, current earnings and financial
aid to cover expenses. All families are eligible for some aid. Financial
aid, is, however, primarily need-based. Families should plan to save, contribute
from earning and borrow to some extent to meet the costs for education after
high school. Each student is expected to contribute from savings and summer
earnings. When you start early, you can save smaller amounts over a longer
period of time, which is easier on your budget. Any amount you save will
add up over time and lessen the amount you and your child will have to borrow.
Meet with a financial planner, accountant, banker or investment counselor
to discuss your goals and investment strategies.
