This article puts in perspective the issues surrounding student debt. No matter one’s view of the magnitude of the problem, Brad’s article should encourage financial advisors to urge clients to plan and save for college so they limit debt in the future. I am President of a consortium of more than 280 private colleges and universities (Princeton to Stanford and everything in between) that voluntarily sponsor a prepaid tuition plan, Private College 529 Plan. 529 savings and prepaid plans offer tax breaks for families and even small, regular contributions to a 529 Plan will add up over time. Bottom line: earn interest rather than pay it.
