Welcome!

Even though my oldest just started high school, our family has been talking a lot more about college lately.

Suddenly those “someday” plans don’t seem so far off.

And, as is everything with our firstborn, this is new territory. Even though my wife and I both went to college, a lot has changed since then and we want to make sure we’re doing everything we can to set our kids up for success.

And this is why I was so excited to talk with this week’s podcast guest, Emma Perez. Emma is a mentor who specializes in helping teens and young adults craft who they want to be and how they will impact the world.

Listen to episode 36 as we talk about:

• Questions to ask to help your teen clarify what they want to do
• The pros and cons of taking a gap year
• Various ways to save for college (and how to avoid surprise expenses)

And more!

Whether you have a teen or simply like to plan ahead, episode 36 is full of practical tips that can help you (and your teen) start planning today.
