College Funding Strategies & Hacks : Cameron Morgan, MBA
In this breakout session, LHS parent Cameron Morgan will present three big ideas that your family may be able to use to save ON the cost of college, not just FOR the cost of college. Regardless of your income, tools and techniques are available to help you ‘hack’ this expense, to identify a common-sense budget for all four years of college, and to balance retirement savings with tuition spending. By the end of this session, you should have one or two concrete ways to avoid overspending on college, and should know how to avoid common traps that increase the cost of college by 25% or more.
