Financing College - A Wealth Preservation Challenge
For most families, the reality of paying for college comes as a rude shock. Only 5% of American families have saved over $5,000 by the time their student is ready to enter college or trade school. Four years on campus can cost anywhere from $64,000 to $196,000 for one child; and, only 20% of entering students even graduate in four years. Suddenly, parents and students are faced with the unpleasant choice of putting their retirement savings and life goals on hold. In most cases, they cannot pay the entire costs of college, and are often driven into excessive borrowing to pay for college since they are unaware of other alternatives. Many students are saddled with tens of thousands of dollars in student loans by the time they graduate which has a negative and a long-lasting affect on a student‟s ability to live a financially prosperous life (including the ability to start saving for retirement).
Most financial planners view college funding as a retirement and lifestyle funding competitor because it is difficult for the average family to pay in-full for both. Ideally, families start saving when their children are young. Today, it‟s tough to start a new family because of the costs. Starting a family and creating a household can soak up most of the available dollars from a single or even joint household income. If there are extra dollars, many parents will have to choose between funding for their own retirement or funding for their children‟s college education.
