I dreaded the College Planning and Financing process. I fumbled my way through the process using instincts, gut intuition, internet searches and talking to as many people as possible. I attempted to purchase a college planning book, but it was just too much information to digest without additional explanation. I just couldn't and didn't have the time to get through all of the material, to take all of the advice and put it into action. Thus, I came up with my own process that includes a diagram, definitions, some of the greatest pitfalls to avoid and the best advice to utilize during the process."College Planning Made Simple" is a 5 step practice guide toward planning and financing college. The guide explains each of the 5 components of the college planning and financing process, how the components share information, and the expected outcome as well as any practical applications and examples that you might need to help explain the concept. In addition, the guide contains references and sections for notes. At the end of each section, I've included a personal note regarding my own experience, pitfalls to avoid and shortcuts to take when possible. Please know that I'm with you on this journey. Not only have I put the guide together for you, but I've also lived through the process. It works, and today, we are debt-free because of the choices and processes that we have followed.
