The "best" college for your student isn't the college with the highest ranking in a magazine or online poll. It's the school where the investments of time and money that you and your student make will generate the highest ROI and Return on Life (ROL).
Talk to your student about whether the schools on their short list find this ideal balance between tangible and intangible returns.
School is out, and perhaps your college graduate is trading in the dorms for their old room - back at mom and dad’s house. The rising trend of adult children moving back in with their parents—often called “boomerang children”—is reshaping family life and financial dynamics. Driven by high housing costs, inflation, and mounting student debt, this arrangement can provide a much-needed safety net for the child, but it can also create challenges for the household. The following tips can help you support your children while maintaining healthy boundaries.
As your college graduate prepares to move into a new phase of their adult life, one thing they probably don't need is more stuff to move. Parents can still commemorate their child's achievements with less-traditional gifts that won't take up space in the moving van.
Including, of course, cash.
But before you stick a check in a greeting card, consider some alternative ways to celebrate your grad and also set them up for success.
