Education Planning

It’s more important than ever before to earn a postsecondary credential. College graduates hold nearly all the good jobs created since the end of the Great Recession1, and that isn’t changing anytime soon2. But there’s another side to that: America is facing a college debt crisis. Nearly 45 million Americans owe more than $1.5 trillion in college debt3, with the typical new baccalaureate graduate holding nearly $40,000 in debt. No one wants to see their children saddled with that burden as they begin their adult life. We can help you plan for your children’s college expenses -- or your own -- in smart ways, without sacrificing your own retirement savings, or hurting their ability to get financial aid that they won’t have to pay back.
