Don’t forget to advise the parents NOT to co-sign for their snowflakes’ college apartments. Guaranteed one of the roommates won’t pay and the apt. management will come to snowflake’s parents for the $$$$$. If the roommates continue not to pay, you know who is going to have their credit rating ruined. And don’t take, “but, but, it won’t happen!” because it will and they’ll be stuck holding the bag. If snowflake can’t stay in the dorm, then it’s up to snowflake to get a job and pay for his own apartment.
Good advice.
It may seem harsh but for parents to put their financial health at risk in this economy is not very smart.
There are alternative today to the expensive four year degree programs that are overpriced.
Two year community college and then perhaps an accredited on line degree program.
