We were all kids once, right? Now, most of us are either adults, parents (soon-to-be’s) or grandparents. I can’t speak for everyone but I know that many of us, as parents or grandparents, feel compelled to pay for our children’s college education. We all want to provide a foundation for our kids that allows them to learn, grow, have a little fun and better their futures.

Interestingly enough, the most common college conversation that is being had these days seems to focus on the student debt problem. But it’s not just students facing a debt problem, it’s parents too. Tuition costs have been on the fast track for many years with the average in-state public school tuition rising 4.6% last year to $22,261 per year including room and board.

Despite the costs, Georgetown recently published a study that shows that it still pays to earn a college degree. Those without college degrees earn 50% less and have a 24% unemployment rate. Setting aside enough to cover the costs of your child’s or grandchild’s college education requires advanced knowledge, strategic planning and minimizing costly mistakes.

With “Back To School” at hand for everyone, now is a great time to learn The Five Most Common Mistakes to Avoid When Saving for College. During the Real Wealth call, we are going to talk about a variety of issues that will affect your ability to optimally save for college.

Here are just a few of the costly mistakes that we are going to be addressing:

• Not starting your college savings at the optimal time

• Not being aware of all of the college savings options available to you

• Not taking advantage of college savings tax benefits

I will be discussing these and several other costly mistakes on the call and I really hope you can join me as it’s going to be well worth the price of tuition.
