With college more expensive than ever before, can you afford not to get this book?
Throughout the past several decades, a higher education has been as much a part of the American dream as owning a house. And while a college degree once cost a fraction of a home, the financial gap between the two has narrowed greatly. It was once realistic for a student to work enough during the summer to pay for the upcoming two semesters, but this is no longer possible. As a result, student loans have become a massive part of the debt economy-exceeded only by home mortgages among total consumer debt in the United States.
Not surprisingly, many students and parents are now asking themselves, "Is college even worth it?" Busting the College Planning Lies takes you on a quick but invaluable dive into the intersection of higher education and finance.
- Among other things, this book covers key topics parents and students should explore:
- The pitfalls of saving for college
- What opportunity cost reveals about the true expense of a degree
- How to reduce what you spend without reducing what you gain
- Alternate ways to go through college-and alternatives to college
- Plus much more
With the cost of higher education reaching all-time levels, you cannot afford to ignore this book. Busting the College Planning Lies will open your eyes and give you the guidance you need to proceed smartly!
