LPT: If you’re in college, or plan on going, do the following to save yourself time and $$.

( www.reddit.com )

LPT: If you’re in college, or plan on going, do the following to save yourself time and $$. I learned this the hard way: When you go to college, make sure to focus on getting your general classes done first before your designated classes for your major. This will give you an opportunity to change your major with suffering very minimal setbacks, if any at all. I did the opposite and then changed my major half way through, causing me to…

What are warm U.S. spring break destinations that aren’t overrun with partying college students? Our family is starting to think about spring break plans in early March. We want to go somewhere warm in the continental United States but don’t want to deal with rowdy spring break partyers. (No judgment! We just are at a different stage in life and have children in the early elementary grades.) Any recommendations? We like the outdoors, beache…

College alternatives

( www.reddit.com )

College alternatives I started college for photography in September and 2 months in I’m starting to doubt whether this is worth it or not. It’s a bunch or theory not much practice and we aren’t even learning about the business side of photography. Not to mention long days that finish at around 5pm. Somehow I got the feeling if I didn’t go to class I’d have more time…

I’m stressed about saving for college for my kids. Just want money managed properly. IUL now sounds scary.

( www.reddit.com )

I’m stressed about saving for college for my kids. Just want money managed properly. IUL now sounds scary. Hi there, we have a IUL policy for my son. We put 50 bucks a month in, the minimum. It sounded better than a 529 because we aren’t sure our kid will actually go to college and then there will be no huge loss if they don’t. The IUL sounded great. It’s a slow burn growth account, but that’s what we want because we are all about long term slow grow…
