Investment in your future- Prevent it from turning into Bad Debt
April 29, 2014 By Leave a Comment
How Student Loans Become Bad Debt
Failing to keep this simple equation in mind is how student loans quickly become bad debt. Remember, a student loan is a mortgage on your future earnings . When you buy a house, the collateral for the loan is the house. When you buy a car, the collateral for the loan is the car. If you don’t repay these loans, the lender simply takes the house or car. But when you borrow with student loans, the collateral is your future earnings. If you don’t repay your student loans, the government will garnish your future earnings.

That being said it is very important we think into the future, when you will be paying back these loans. That’s right, voluntarily rather than them forcing you to pay the loans back. By setting up your student loans early on a biweekly payment plan that will allow an extra payment a year to go directly to the principle you can have your student loan paid off even earlier and eliminate some of the interest the bank would get back from you. Looking at the example below will show you how using the Biweekly Program that Nationwide Biweekly Administration offers could assist in the payoff.

Educate your kids financially

You can never teach your children about money too soon!
You may have noticed, children may act as money grows on trees! Kids may be aware that you go to the bank to get money, but rarely they know how the money gets there. This is the perfect opportunity to teach your kids that you have to work hard to earn the money that you spend. Once they understand this concept they may become aware of the hard work you put in to earn a living.
Once they learn, they will apply
After your kids learn about money, how its earned, and the things it can buy; you might notice they will save every penny they can get their hands on. As a parent it is your responsibility to channel the attitude to teach them to save and learn delayed gratification.
-Planting the seeds early will help bear fruit later
Educate your children from a young age on how money is earned and how it works. By doing this you can avoid trying to teach them as teenagers, when they are less likely to heed any kind of advice you give.
Allowance can be an effective teaching tool
Giving your kids a small amount of money at a young age will prep them for the larger future numbers to come.
The teaching game changes with Teenagers and College-age kids
By the time the kids reach this age group they will most likely have bigger responsibilities such as: Checking accounts, Credit Cards, and other debt. Teaching the kids about banking and credit while in high school will set them on the path of success when they venture out on there own. High School, a lot of times, will off classes covering banking, financing, and the market. Teach your children to take advantage of these resources.

Debts- just like Walkers – are formidable and they will haunt you and devour you alive so it’s best to steer clear of them, or at least take control of them before they start to act nasty.
In a report, college students who graduated in 2011 had an average debt of $22,900 ($26,600 in a more recent report), and yet 79% of young people still believe that a college education is a valuable investment.

Saving for Your Children’s College Education | Nationwide Biweekly
November 23, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Every parents want the best for their children. You work hard to make both ends meet in order to ensure that you are giving them the best future possible.
Image Credit: Kozzi
Because your child’s future depends on you, you should aim at giving them a good education. To get off to a good start in preparation for your children’s college education, be sure that you make it a part of your financial savings plan. Here are several ways you can save for your children’s education so you and your children can live a life that is debt-free and far from stress- as far as money is concerned, at least.
1. Start saving early
Cramming is never a good idea, and procrastination can be the most serious sin you can commit when planning for your children’s college education. Take this advice from nationally renowned financial guru, Dave Ramsey:
“Regardless of how you save for college, do it. Saving for college ensures that a legacy of debt is not passed down your family tree. Sadly, most people graduating from college right now are deeply in debt before they start. If you start early or save aggressively, your child will not be one of them”
2. Figure out the net cost
Are you planning to send your children to a public or private university? Before deciding, keep in mind that a higher cost does not necessarily mean better quality. Determine which institution will more adequately meet your children’s needs at a price affordable to you.
When figuring out the cost of colleges, take a look at the actual out-of-pocket cost for each school and not the sticker price. Overall, private colleges can be more expensive than in-state colleges. While both offer scholarships, most private colleges offer better financial aids than public universities.
3. Let your children know about your savings plan
Get your children involved early on in the saving process and make them understand how you are planning to save for their future education. Teach them the importance saving and help them develop a good saving habit.
When planning for your children’s future education, don’t get fooled into thinking student loans are the only option. The key is to start saving early and regularly. Have you started saving yet?
