How does Sheryl Garrett, CFP, the founder of Garrett Planning Network, help families in the college financial planning process?
I grew up in a very typical middle-class household. My father was an entrepreneur and he impressed upon me the work-reward relationship long before I had any idea what was happening. I highly recommend these teachings and share them with others every chance I get. Unfortunately, my father never wrote his lessons down, but you can get a great summary and fantastic supporting materials from my financial cartoon superhero, Sammy Rabbit.
