The Busy Parent’s Guide to Paying for College July 13, 2009
When it comes to college planning, there’s no shortage of advice. Last time I checked, there were over 55 books on the topic. Plus there’s teachers, guidance counselors, financial planners, accountants – and know-it-all neighbors whose daughter applied to 27 schools.
The problem is separating the sound advice from the misguided (and downright harmful) advice. But who has time to gather and read it all, then sort the good from the bad? We’re dealing with work… commuting… household chores… bills to pay… grocery shopping… orthodontist visits… new brakes for the car… not to mention daily meals, laundry and homework help.

We hear you. So for those busy New Jersey parents who are feeling overwhelmed at the mere thought of college planning, we’ve put together a “cheat sheet” for you. Seven quick and easy tips to help you lower the college bill. You’ll find it in the Library now.
