saving for college
Ilyce Glink on WSB Radio – September 7, 2008
Today on the Ilyce Glink Show, Ilyce discussed the Federal Government’s takeover of secondary mortgage market giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. She took calls from listeners like Cathy, who are wondering if the takeover will have an impact on their house closings in the coming weeks. Ilyce’s answer: No. She said the takeover should help get the mortgage market moving again as international investors regain confidence in the U.S. mortgage market. Ilyce also took calls from Bob about how he should put money away for his grandchild (who would be the first person in the family to go to college), and from Chris, a real estate broker for 30 years who is incensed about what has happened to the real estate market and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. She also answered questions about how to encourage an ex-spouse to refinance a loan after a divorce, whether you should stay in the stock market if you’re in retirement, and other investment questions.

Avoid Student Loans At A Junior College
A parent asks about the cost of college tuition and about having a student start at a community college. Because the cost of college tuition is so high it’s a good idea to start out at a less well known school and transfer. When a student goes to a big name school, she may be taking on $50,000 to $100,000 in debt for college (not including graduate school costs). She’ll have a $700 to $1,000 per month headache to deal with after graduation. That’s after taxes, and after she pays for her rent, utilities, cell phone, car, gas and food.
