I couldn’t help but think about college planning
during the AFC and NFC championship games this weekend,
could you?
Bear with me…here’s what I mean.
In each game, mistakes decided the outcome. My
beloved Pats escaped OT when the Ravens kicker
pulled the tying field goal attempt left.
The Giants capitalized on two special teams errors
by the 49′rs – botched returns.
Each mistake had critical implications, denying the
Ravens and 49′rs Superbowl berths.
In my practice, I see parents – and children -
committing even more important mistakes every day.
Mistakes like applying to the “wrong” colleges.
Or holding their college savings in the “wrong” types
of places.
Or listening to the WORST sources of information about
college planning – peers, uninformed fellow-parents
and, sadly, most guidance counselors.
The difference between a football mistake and a college
planning mistake is gi-normous:
An NFL guy goofs up, the season ends a week or two early.
But a college planning mistake can have repercussions that
last the rest of your child’s life.
I’m holding two college planning workshops this week – each
will disclose key, costly mistakes you must avoid if you
hope to pay less than “sticker” price for college. You’ll walk
out of there with a spring in your step, confident that you
have finally started to formulate your gameplan to tackle the
college planning process.
Yes - “tackle” – pun intended.
The workshop at the Mid-Island Y JCC is slightly over-booked,
but the workshop at the South Huntington Public Library
has approximately 18 spots left (it’s a big auditorium – not
quite as large as Lucas Oil Stadium).

The biggest mistake you can commit is blowing off this
process until you have no more options – and it’s too late
to try anything other than a desperate Hail Mary pass.
Come out to my workshop and you’ll feel like you scored a TD and
the Point After!

Hope to see you this week,

P.S. Since I suspect many of you are not Pats fans, I promise NOT
to wear my Vince Wilfork 3XL jersey at the workshop…if you agree
not to bring up 2008!
P.P.S. “Pass” this along to a friend or family member if you think
they could use it!
