In today's episode, I sit down with Paul Compeau, a friendly CFP who helps families pay less for college. We talk about simple steps you can take right now, like filling out FAFSA the right way, building a smart college list, and knowing the real price before you say yes. Paul shares easy tips to find money you don’t have to pay back, how to ask schools for a better offer, and what to do if you didn’t save enough. We also cover common mistakes to avoid so you don’t hurt your retirement.
