About this listen

Send your child to college, regardless of what your paycheck says.

Surveys have consistently found that saving for a child’s college education is the top money concern for parents in the US, with over 70 percent saying they’re worried about being able to pay for their child’s education.

Tuition fees are rising year after year, and for many parents, this makes the prospect even more daunting.

So, should you just give up and invest in your child’s present, rather than their future?

The short answer is no - there’s really no need.

Saving for your child’s college education is a process that’s distinctly different from saving for any other purpose, and it’s never too early to start.

Begin now, whether your child is a teen, an infant, or hasn’t even been born yet, and you can ensure that they have access to the education you want for them.

Research has shown that college graduates begin their working life earning 80 percent more than those with only a high school diploma. If you want this for your child, it’s natural to be concerned about how you can help them get there.

But there’s good news: You can do this easily. It’s simply a case of knowing where to start, understanding how to plan, and being equipped to navigate a financial system that seems hell-bent on getting in your way.

In Saving for College, you’ll be given a straightforward breakdown of exactly what you need to do to ensure your child gets the education they deserve. You’ll discover:

  • Practical saving tips that anyone can implement now, even if you haven’t opened a savings account for your child yet
  • Financial management tricks to help you get ahead of the system
  • Ways exactly how you can plan and maximize your savings by the time your child is off to college
  • The number one mistake parents make when saving for their child’s future, and how you can avoid it
  • How (and when) to use financial aid wisely so that you won’t have debt hanging over your head for the next 15+ years

Beyond helpful!

I'm not exactly the best at saving money nor have I ever been.. I am very excited to try some of these methods since I have a 4 year old and a 2 year old. This is the perfect time to start, considering how expensive collage is or can be.. I have always felt so overwhelmed at the idea of trying to save for my kids future let alone saving for my own future, but this book gives so many examples to make it super relatable and so many ideas for solutions that I feel that as long as you take the authors advice and actually try, it's almost impossible for you to fail! I highly recommend this!!

Add this book to your Library

If you think you can’t afford to send your children to college, well, you need to listen to Orson's book. This book will give you a plan to save and get your child the education needed. This book will take away the fear of lack of money and prepare your child for college starting in High School. I love how this book gives advice for when unexpected life situations happen. This book needs to be in your book library.

It's never to early to start saving!

So thankful for this book! There’s so much good information in here. I’m already putting some of these strategies into place. It’s so expensive to send kids to college, and I’ll take any tips I can get! I purchased this to help me make some decisions, and I feel a lot more equipped now. It’s an easy book to follow and full of tips.

Must have book if you have children

If you care about your child's future and want them to be successful and independent - this is a must have book for you. Cost of college is a big sum for every family and author teaches what practical steps to do today in order to avoid the scenario when you will not have enough money for your child's studies. I liked the part about mistakes parents make when saving for their child’s future.
