The One Big Difference from a Year Ago
Obviously, the world feels much different to us all now than ever before. But in sticking to college, this April feels totally different in one very definable way than all previous April's.
I've spent past April's talking people off the bankruptcy-cliff from accepting inflated college costs and taking excessive loans. This year, no one is getting within 500 feet of the bankruptcy-cliff. This April has been a month so far of helping people make the right decision.
Previous April's have been fraught with parent's emotional-obligations to please their child. Every April has been filled with- I'll do whatever I have to do to make this work. My child deserves it.
Not this year, I haven't heard that once. Rather, what I hear repeatedly is the new emotional-obligation to preserve their finances with- Let's look at options, we need to protect our interests"...
The harsh reality is that families are faced with considering their dream college, or returning to college, may no longer be affordable. Thank goodness for options and we have options for you.
