Podcasts about college financing

FAFSA? EFC? SAI? What does all this mean? College planning is complicated and overwhelming for both the student and the parent. There should be an easy button to plan for college.  In this episode of the Stuff About Money podcast, Erik Garcia, CFP®, has a candid discussion with John Hupalo (4-time guest on the show) on navigating the FASFA maze. From demystifying FASFA responsibilities to understanding asset impacts on aid eligibility, get expert insights into college planning essentials. They discuss strategies to pay for college using needs-based methods as well as merit-based methods. This is a must-listen if you have a student in the 8th grade all the way to college age. Episode Highlights: John mentions that there is still work to be done in expanding and improving the prepaid college savings program. (2:16) John discusses how having a conversation about college affordability and financial fit early on in a student's high school years is crucial to making informed decisions and potentially reducing the amount of debt required for higher education. (6:53) John explains that students must fill out the FAFSA form as it determines their eligibility for work-study, Pell grants, and federal student loans, and using online tools like the financial aid calculator can help estimate their Student Aid Index. (14:28) John shares that it is important to understand the implications of the IRS having access to your financial information for automatic uploading into forms. (25:58) John discusses improvements in the treatment of 529 plans for financial aid, including the removal of penalties for draining the account and the inclusion of grandparent 529 plans. (29:42) John mentions that the recent changes to the 529 account program allow for greater flexibility in using the funds for education, including private and public schools, student loans, apprenticeships, and even rolling over into Roth IRAs. (44:28) John believes that the key to planning for your child's education is to be realistic about your financial situation and not sacrifice your retirement savings to pay for college. (47:18) Key Quotes: “The college planning process does not start at senior year. It really starts freshman year for students.” - John Hupalo “Student loans should be the last resort, not the first option to pay for college.” - John Hupalo “Be realistic in your college planning. Avoid compromising your retirement savings to fund your child's education.” - John Hupalo Resources Mentioned: John Hupalo LinkedIn Invite Education My College Corner Blog: Parents: Know the College Admissions Timeline Blog: The Critical Student Financial Aid Terms You Should Know Building Us Podcast: Part 1: Where Do I Start in Planning for My Child's College?

Kerry Lutz and Dave Shutler discussed the state of student loans and the importance of avoiding them. They recommended picking a major first and then a school to avoid taking on too much debt. They also emphasized the importance of knowing the potential earnings for a chosen career path before taking on student loans. The lack of resources available to young people to understand the intricacies of student debt and the hidden costs of taking out a reverse mortgage were also discussed. The non-dischargeability of student loan debt and the potential for a recession due to the large number of people with student debt were also mentioned. The value of a college education and the earning potential of skilled trades were also explored. While college graduates make more money on average, some skilled trades can earn more than some college graduates. Various cost-effective education options for students were discussed, including community college, AP courses, and online-only schools. The benefits of these options, such as lower tuition fees and the ability to earn college credits while still in high school, were highlighted. The importance of exploring all available options to save money and still receive a quality education was emphasized. Finally, financial hacks and the importance of having proper knowledge to make financial decisions were discussed, and a book called "Graduate Debt Free" was recommended for those looking to pay for college.

Topics include Carlo's family background to set the stage for the experience he shares, what was most important to his daughter in the early college selection process, how cost and affordability were brought into the discussion with his daughter, and their experiences working with different schools through this process.

In a career spanning newspapers, magazines, books, radio, television, live events, teleseminars, and the Internet (www.moneyanswers.com), he has helped millions of people to solve their financial problems and realize their financial dreams. An honors graduate of Amherst College, Jordan had just received his masters degree from the Columbia University School of Journalism in 1977 when he launched an award-winning, consumer-oriented newspaper insert, INFO, which reached 4 million readers every week. That early foray into consumer journalism soon led to an 18-year stint at MONEY, the foremost personal-finance magazine in the U.S., where Jordan reported and wrote on every aspect of personal finance. During his tenure at MONEY, he also became a regular presence on radio and television programs around the country. When Jane Pauley and Bryant Gumbel of the "Today Show" wanted to refute some of the more dubious strategies of financial guru Charles Givens in 1986, it was Jordan they asked to face down Givens. When Ted Koppel needed a financial expert to explain to "Nightline" viewers the implications of the stock-market crash of October 19, 1987, it was Jordan to whom he turned. While at MONEY, Jordan also began to write the first of his 14 highly acclaimed books on personal finance. The Barron's Dictionary of Finance and Investment Terms (1984), which Jordan co-authored with John Downes, has been translated into Spanish, German, Russian, Japanese, and Chinese, and has sold over 3 million copies worldwide. Now in its ninth edition, it is considered a classic in its field and a staple on the syllabi of college personal-finance and business courses, MBA classes, and securities training seminars. In the 33 years since the dictionary was first released, Jordan has also written:• Barron's Finance and Investment Handbook (1986, co-authored with Downes) that provides a comprehensive analysis of every form of investment, plus a multitude of important investment resources. (The ninth edition came out in 2014.) • Everyone's Money Book (Dearborn, 1993, 1998 and 2001) a 970-page comprehensive financial reference that included over 6,000 resources and sold over 250,000 copies.• The Everyone's Money Book Series (Dearborn, 2003) (including six separate volumes on Credit; Stocks, Bonds, and Mutual Funds; Real Estate; College Financing; Retirement Planning; and Financial Planning)• Reading Between the Lies: How to Avoid Becoming a Victim of Wall Street's Next Scandal (Dearborn, 2004) aimed to educate consumers shaken by Enron-era debacles.• Master Your Money Type (Warner Business Books, 2006) about the different psychological styles with which people relate to their finances, and how to minimize their weaknesses and maximize their strengths to build financial well-being.• Fast Profits in Hard Times (Grand Central Publishing, 2008) that anticipated the current financial downturn and provides readers with investment strategies that allow them to make money even in a down market.• Master Your Debt (John Wiley, 2010) which explains the many changes in the world of debt and offers specific resources to help readers pay off their mortgages in 5-7 years instead of 30 years, get control of their credit card debt, student loans and all other kinds of debt. • The Ultimate Guide to Student Loans (CreateSpace, 2014) which explains how to save and invest before a child goes to college, how to get the best student loans when they get to college, and how to pay them off as quickly as possible after graduation. It's been 20 years since Jordan, in such demand as a keynote speaker, author, and guest expert on radio and television, left MONEY to focus on independent projects. He is the host of the weekly national Money Answers Radio Show which appears on the online VoiceAmerica Business Radio Network at www.voiceamerica.com. Once or more each week, he appears as a commentator on major TV news networks such as CNN, CBS, ABC, Fox News Network and Fox Business Network. During frequent trips around the country, he is a guest on local and regional radio and TV stations as well as a keynote speaker for such diverse audiences as the military, corporate employees, college students, and trade association members. He also participates in non-profit personal-finance-literacy programs such as those sponsored by the Jump$tart Coalition. And virtually every day, often several times a day, from a microphone on the desk in his home office, he speaks to millions of listeners through his regular guest appearances on countless radio shows. These include such prominent programs as "Sunday Morning Magazine" on KMOX that reaches numerous Midwestern states; KOA’s Money Monday hour with Mandy Connell in Denver, WCCO in Minneapolis with Jordana Green, WGN in Chicago with Steve Cochran.

The son of a father who was a political-science professor for 32 years at the Ivy League's Brown University, and a mother who was a dedicated community-service leader in Providence, Rhode Island, Jordan early on melded his father's focus on world events with his mother's emphasis on serving others. His parents' formative influences, combined with his firsthand experience of a traumatic family financial crisis when he was a teenager, in large measure explain both the career path he has pursued with such passion and the reasons why he is today widely known as "America's Money Answers Man." In all he does -- in his books, his media appearances, his live speeches, his teleseminars, and even in the hundreds of email replies he crafts each month in response to listeners who write to ask for his advice, Jordan: • teaches the underlying principles of responsible personal finance.• makes clear the impact of current events on the consumer's wallet.• provides outstanding resources that can help the consumer to take the next smart step.

Ryan Lane, Senior Editor, American Student Assistance  The college selection process is complex and stressful, and many parents fail to discuss the long-term financial ramifications of taking on student loan debt with their children. In today’s episode, Kathleen and Ryan discuss how many parents try to protect their children by not talking about money, but do the family a disservice by not engaging in this important and enlightening conversation. Ryan offers tips for involving your children in the college funding decision-making process and how doing so can help them avoid huge student loan debt when they graduate from school. Key Take Aways: Start the college application process early by involving your children in the FAFSA process and talking about different ways to finance their education, such as loans, grants, scholarships, and good old hard work. Schedule a money talk with your children to discuss the FAFSA results, repayment schedule, how it may affect their college choice. Create a mock budget to demonstrate the long-term, real-life impact of each of the funding options. When discussing this topic with recent graduates, encourage them to pay down student loans faster by making an extra payment per year. Have your child calculate the amount of money saved by avoiding additional interest expenses. Then brainstorm all the other ways they could use this cash. For example, if you save $1000 in interest expense, what could you buy instead? A long weekend in Bermuda comes to mind?! Ryan Lane is the Senior Editor, at the national nonprofit American Student Assistance. In his role, he oversees the development of articles, infographics, course materials for the organization’s free education finance support program: Salt. Working with internal and external subject matter experts, Ryan creates content that simplifies the world of college financing and helps families successfully plan for, pay for, and repay higher education expenses. Over the past three years, he has written about student loans as a co-author of the U.S. News & World Report Blog "The Student Loan Ranger."
