Johnny Goes to College

Wow! I can’t believe that in a matter of five months my husband and I will be empty nesters. Does that mean we go dancing at Disneyland or take an Alaskan cruise? Hollywood seems to run this world and that is what I’ve seen on the commercials. It seems I had better call my travel agent today, whip out my MasterCard or Visa, and start planning.
We are actually full of mixed emotions to see our son take this next journey in his life. We love him very much and we are sad to see him leave us but at the same time we are proud that he is a capable person and he is ready to move on and pursue his goals. I am glad we have financially planned since his birth and we can afford college. I am also very proud of our son and his hard work because he has received a partial academic scholarship to reduce tuition. In addition to his scholarship, we plan to employ a certified college planner to make sure we are we are getting all benefits available to our family. There may be IRS strategies available that can reduce our out of pocket costs.
