Time to Ramp Up the Money Search
The following infographic is getting TONS of attention and repins on Pinterest in the past week. Why? Because the timing is right - the information is relevant - and people are paying attention! Have a look for yourself. 'How to Get Free Money For College' is aimed mostly at our American friends because it talks a lot about FAFSA - but there are also some great general tips and sources included. Enjoy and spread it around!

Blatant Book Promotion!!
Been away from this place for way too long, and getting some new posts written for the very near future. In the meantime - just wanted to give my book some shameless self-promotion!
'How To Be A Money Smart Student' is full of great money saving tips for students who have recently moved out on their own. It will also be a very valuable tool for that high school senior who is just finishing up and preparing for that next step out in the real world. Just following a few of the tips and tricks in the book will save students hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars throughout the course of their post-secondary education.
NOW would be a great time to order the book from Amazon so you have it in plenty of time to put it in their Christmas stockings!! Just click on the book cover below for instant access to the book on Amazon.com.
Cheers!!

Book Review - 25 Money Strategies Your Teacher Forgot to Tell You About
Hello Folks! It's been awhile but it's nice to have something to share with you which I hope will be helpful.
I have had the opportunity recently to be introduced to an author by the name of Richard Pan. A native of Latvia, Richard has a Master's in Education, speaks four languages and, most importantly for these purposes, has written a couple of books about money aimed at young people.
His most recent endeavor is entitled '25 Money Strategies Your Teacher Forgot to Tell You About." I read it recently, and here's what I think....
I like the book. Now - right off the bat - remember Richard's native language is not English - keep that in mind as you read through the book. It's funny how a number of Richard's strategies (from half a world away) are very similar in nature to those in my own book...staying healthy to reduce health care expenses as one example. He does a good job of explaining all of his strategies in detail and offers some unique thoughts. My favorite quote is "Expensive 'stuff' doesn't make you cool - it makes you poor!" - buy your clothes at Thrift Shops!
I'm not sure how parents will react to the idea of young people staying at home as long as possible (at least age 25 or so) to save on expenses!! My 18 year old just moved out to go to college an hour away and the house is a whole lot quieter. The money saving logic behind the idea is great...but....
The strategy I like the most is 'Zero Dollar Day'. Pick one day a week where you force yourself to NOT spend any cash, or use debit or credit. Richard explains it in detail and it sounds like it would work. Read the book and give it a try.
Truthfully - I like any money book which gets young people thinking about how they spend their money and what they can do to spend less and save more. "25 Money Strategies Your Teacher Forgot to Tell You About" will do that. Check it out for yourself by clicking on the cover below. Cheers!

How to Pay For College HQ Radio Podcast
I am thrilled and honored to be this week's guest on the radio podcast at www.howtopayforcollegehq.com. Celest Horton and I had a great conversation about student finances, the need for students to do lots of research well in advance of heading to college, and some great resources for both students and parents who are in the preparation stage.
The podcast can be heard on both itunes and Stitcher, and you can get to it directly from the HQ website as well.
