I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with a high-school senior trying to determine the right fit for college. His dad reached out for advice as he was grappling with the overwhelming financial burden on his first-born son. The cost of a four-year education is somewhere between $60K – $120K depending on the college. Of course, his son was leaning towards the more expensive out-of-state option.
To help facilitate the discussion, we started with the end goal in mind.
- What kind of career do you expect upon graduation?
- Where do you want to live?
- What kind of lifestyle do you want?
- Do you want to own a home or rent an apartment? Live alone or with roommates?
- What are your saving goals?
