Excellent book August 5, 2008
I read this book both as a CPA who has many clients ask me about financial aid and as a father of 2 children. In both regards, this book was excellent. The author starts with a wise premise, that your retirement and putting your kids through college are linked together and any money paid to your child's college is money that you won't have in retirement. The book then strikes a great balance between overview and detail so that you can get the information you would need in your situation without sacrificing thoroughness. The tone is easy to read. There are sufficient examples and highlights of important points. And, the book seems very comprehensive, so after reading it, I felt I knew enough to intelligently begin to rework my savings for my children's education.
I will unhesitatingly recommend this book to clients and colleagues. In fact, I plan to purchase multiple copies to have on hand for my clients, many of whom have the same questions that I had and which the book answered.
Highly Recommend July 31, 2008
I have two children in high school and it is scary to think about the costs of college. This book openned my eyes to the business side of colleges, and gave me some useful tips on different investment accounts. I am recommending this book to my friends.
Helpful July 31, 2008
Good book. It provides insight into many areas of personal finance and is pretty easy to read. I was able to implement a couple of strategies. Certainly worth the money.
