Do you have enough money saved to send your child to college? How much do I need to have saved?\n\nIn this eye-opening podcast, Aaron Greene invalidates this question because \"it's the wrong question to ask.\" Rather, he says, we should be asking ourselves, \"What SHOULD I be SPENDING on college?\"\n\nAs Aaron discusses in this podcast, college is a consumer purchase--and should be treated as an investment. Families should be empowered to spend based on what the desired degree is worth--not what the college deems as a set blanket sticker price.\n\nBut can you do that? The answer is yes--and Aaron tells you how.\n\nDuring each podcast episode Aaron Greene, Founder and College Planning Advisor at College Liftoff, helps students and families reduce the cost of higher education, navigate the application process, and make well-rounded decisions by evaluating the modern metrics of education.\n\nCollege Liftoff emerged from Aaron\u2019s desire to help students learn to treat education like an investment, accounting for the career, academic, and financial factors that shape this decision. He has also forged a debt control calculation to set student loan debt limits for each student. College Liftoff opened its first office in Columbus, Ohio in May 2009.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/39035816-75df-49b0-9148-c14a64fc0c9a/A1IKqAcvKAd0KhAAj6OdAQst.jpg"}
