Families often overpay for college, take on too much debt, and hurt their savings and retirement plans because they tumbled unprepared into the late-stage college funding pressure cooker. The solution to this problem is to develop your college funding strategy now by getting an EFC (expected family contribution) analysis to find the right school with the lowest tuition, while protecting your retirement plans.
