Competing Financial Priorities Balancing College and Retirement
Hi Friend,
It’s February! Valentine’s Day is our opportunity to send love and say thank you for supporting us at Westface College Planning. Wishing you everything that makes you happiest, today and always.
If you’re a Senior, you may be starting to receive your college acceptance and financial aid award letters. At first glance, your award letter might not make a lot of sense. Knowing how much financial aid you are offered and how much you’re really expected to pay can be confusing.

College costs are at an all-time high, and saving is on the mind of many parents. As families with teens and college-aged children examine their financial priorities for 2022, the College Ave survey sheds light on the difficult budgeting choices many families are facing.
Make financial planning your sweetheart and give us a call, sign up for a complimentary college funding consultation or register for an educational webinar today!
