School Marks

When I was in college, I wasn’t like the rest of the students. I had a number of friends that would just party it up on the weekends, and they never had any money at all. My situation was different because I made sure to take advantage of some college planning services that my parents enrolled me in – it made all the difference in the world.

You see, the problem with all of the rest of my friends wasn’t that they were from families that didn’t have any money, but rather they just didn’t know how to use the money that they had. It is unfortunate that there is not some sort of seminar on college planning strategies, but our college doesn’t offer any.

I tried to help my friends with advice, but they just wouldn’t listen to me. I guess I didn’t have the authority as a certified college planning specialist that they needed to justify that what I was saying was right. I watched them get further and further in debt during our four year stay at college.

Sadly, most of my friends from my college days are still paying off their debts. Sure, they have some great jobs and careers, but it would have been better for them if they had just planned out their finances while in college – maybe they would have more money than they do today.
