    Lightbulb Frugal tip 3/11

    If you plan to sell an appreciated asset such as stock to help pay for your children's college expenses, sell the asset in the year prior to applying for financial aid. Doing so will keep any capital gain from being included in your current income. If you sell it the same year you apply for financial aid, you will look more prosperous than you really are.
