#25. The cost of higher education is too high. Here's what you can do about it.
Show Notes

In this episode, Aaron and Trishul discuss saving for college. How much do parents need to save to fully fund four years at UCLA, or a more expensive private school? What are the variables to consider? Will higher education costs keep rising faster than inflation? And what are the benefits of a 529 plan? The math isn't particularly complex. But trying to predict the choices of teenagers 18 years in advance requires strategic planning and flexibility.
