Key Points
  • Not all financial professionals are looking out for you. Make sure they are held to the fiduciary standard at all times.
  • Before seeing a financial professional, make sure you’ve already paid off consumer debt, you’ve built an emergency reserve fund, and you’re maximizing your retirement fund contributions.
  • Prioritize your own retirement savings before setting aside money for your children’s tuition.
  • Make sure the cost of a degree is worth the expected income.
