Back-to-School: Strategies for Success

While it can feel like the back-to-school experience fixates on colorful displays found throughout department stores, the path to successful education planning is much more involved and requires a robust approach. Consider the following questions:

• When is the best time to begin setting aside money for my baby’s education?
• Help! My daughter’s attitude about budgeting is “What’s the point?”
• After I move my son into college, I’ll be an empty nester – now what?

If any of these questions resonate with you, we encourage you to join our live webinar on Wednesday, August 22 at 11am PT / 2pm ET for the Yeske Buie team’s answers to these questions and more.
