Greetings, I am quite new to this forum being that I just signed up a couple of minutes ago. I am on here to ask about any long term investment strategies I can execute for the next couple of years of my life. Recently, I have read Dave Ramsey's Complete Guide to Money Makeover, and there he...

Hi there everyone, Thanks in advance for your time and help. I really appreciate all of it. I followed a path in which some of my decisions could have been made very differently. However, when it comes to matters of the heart and a series of incredibly dark depressions, you're bound to make...

So, I got some really bad news this weekend. My daughter got her FAFSA papers back and she got her admission letter which summarizes her finances. She was approved for work study for up to $2K a year. She was given no grants and a very small loan approval. She got a $10K scholarship. I...

I have an idea but I want to get some opinions before I commit to it. We have our son's first birthday coming up in the beginning of February. He's the only grandchild on both sides (as of now) and he got spoiled on Christmas and has more toys than he needs. Our gift to him is we are...

Just talked to DD. She is a full-time student at the local community college. She is there on a full scholarship, but she may lose the scholarship next year, because of financial problems with the scholarship program our state has, they announced they will only be able to continue the highest...

I know that a college education is important and I fully intend for my dd to attend a 4 year college and earn her BA, however, I don't feel it's right for my ds. My dd works hard and has lofty goals but my ds is just adrift. I don't think he would do well in school. So, my question is not if...

Its been a wonderful day. She graduated cum Laude. She only liked 300ths of a point graduating Magna cum Laude. I'm so proud of her. She has worked so hard. She's a secondary ed major with a focus in English. She's going to take some more Praxis so she can teach other fields also. I am one very...

She finished her student teaching today. She graduates in 8 days. I'm so proud of her. :tay:

Ok everyone looking for some help here. We have raised our son and taught him about debt currently he is in his 2nd year of college lives at home and works 25-30hrs a week. So he has been able to pay for college as he takes the classes and currently has next years tuition sitting in bank. The...

My son is in 11th grade. I found out recently that some scholarships have a dec of jr year deadline to apply. We have applied for one. We are looking at 2 jr & 2 sr colleges. Any suggestions on what to put in a note book and how to organize it so that we don't miss deadlines? TIA

Hey everyone, I was wondering if I could get some advice as to my budget plans for my future. I'd appreciate pretty much anything you can share with me, both negative and positive, as I'm still young and not as experienced. Just a heads up though, this turned out to be a much longer post than I...

So glad college football is here again. Roll Tide !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Before you read, I'm hardly considered a hardship. More like I'm going to be in a pickle VERY soon and am interested in some savvy financial advice :). I've recently been put in a jam financially and am wondering how I'm going to pay all my bills the best way possible. I'm sure some of you...

I went to my DD1's online college bookstore tonight to check book prices. Wow! About $600 for four books! And these are just pre-req classes. Any ideas about how we can buy books for less $?

I'm just wondering if its as bad in your area as it is here to try and find a summer job. My dd has 1 more semester of college and desperately needs a summer job to help pay expenses. With gas prices so high she will have to find something local because she can't afford on minimum wage to drive...

Dd (a freshman in college) just ranted how everyone she knows is going somewhere for Spring break while she is staying home and working. She doesn't understand how you can take out a loan for college and then spend money going on vacation. I hope she retains that attitude for the rest of our...

I'm a college student in my junior year of undergraduate. I have at least 5 more years to go to finish out my graduate degree, and I know that most of that time is going to be spent scraping by financially, are there any other college students who are finding clever ways to make ends meet?
