I recently spoke with Luanne Lee, Owner of Your College Planning Coach.

Luanne wanted to do something where she could make an impact to help families and feel good about what she did every day, so she began her career in Financial Services in 1996.

Luanne decided to focus on the specialty of College Planning and Funding when she saw how student loan debt was hampering so many parents and students from reaching their retirement goals. Little did she know at the time just how specialized college planning was!

Luanne has undergone extensive licensing and training as a College Financial Planning Specialist and for the past 15+ years has devoted her practice to providing financial education and efficient solutions to families maneuvering through the complex process of planning and funding for college without jeopardizing their retirement goals.

In our conversation, Luanne and I discuss:

Whether in-state college is always the least expensive option

Whether you can rely on your guidance counselor through the college admissions process

Whether families should “go it alone” through the college planning process

Why parents are usually on the hook for their kids student loans

Why families who “make too much money” should still fill out the FAFSA

Whether saving for college will hurt the student’s ability to get financial aid

The importance of outside scholarships in paying for college

Whether AP Courses will cut the cost of college by letting the student graduate earlier

And much more…
