June 2016 Newsletter

I have exciting news to share! We recently moved Westface College Planning’s headquarters to Camas, Washington. This growing business area is just across the Columbia River from Portland, Oregon. We will continue to work with all our valued California clients through face-to-face meetings (I plan to be in Northern California 25% of my time), online web calls, phone and email.

I’ve included our new mailing address and phone number below for your convenience. In the meantime, please let me know if you have any questions at all.

Also, don’t miss all the exciting news in this month’s e-newsletter. This month’s Featured Find explains how advance planning is key to improving your financial odds, and June’s Senior Scoop offers our soon to be college students important warnings about using debit cards that allow you to load grant or loan money.

We want to help you take your next step on the path to creating a clear college funding plan. Sign up for a workshop or give me a call today.

All the best,
Beatrice Schultz, CFP®

Knowing the Rules of the Debit Card Game

Seniors: How do you manage your cash? Carrying it around in your wallet is the easiest, but not the wisest nor safest option. One little plastic card (soon enough, using only your phone and fingerprint) can solve the problem. Time to sign up for your very own debit account.

With the wide variety of options available from different banks, it can be hard for you to make sense of which card they should choose. Not to mention it’s mind-boggling to understand all the various fees and regulations.
