Your retirement comes before your children’s tuition. That’s because there’s no financial aid for retirement, and there’s still a good deal available for college.

Love is the best school, but the tuition is high and the homework can be painful.
I unloaded planes for UPS in Louisville, Kentucky. It only was bad because it was called ‘Earn to Learn,’ where you pay for your tuition for college, but you have to work graveyard shift – midnight to eight A.M. – and then go to school at nine or 10 A.M. I was a zombie after two semesters.
If there were no government-guaranteed student loans, college tuition would be much lower.
I went to school here at the University of San Carlos for my primary and high school. I was valedictorian in grade school, and I was number one in high school, and because of that, I received free tuition in school. I thank the school for that.
There was this conflict within me because so many people would come up to me to ask for prayers for all sorts of things, and 50% would be about money like, ‘How can I pay for the tuition fee of my kids?’ And I could only pray for them. I had no advice to give them because I didn’t know anything about money.
We build schools and give government loans and grants to college kids; for those of us who are parents, tuition will often be the last big subsidy we give the children we’ve raised.
Since most American students cannot simply pay their full tuition out of pocket, financing a college education often takes the form of loans, both private and from the government.

I DJ’d for years. I DJ’d in high school, and I think my parents thought it was a passing thing.

I can pay my tuition.’
When I was in college, I lost my scholarship one year. I had enough money for tuition, but not room and board. So I camped in the hills.
So I think there’s a potential to make tuition free at public universities as part as young people doing national service. I think that is the most realistic option.
I have a lot of brothers and sisters, and each movie has helped pay for tuition. And then I was like, I only have one left in college, so why am I doing this? But now I want to go back to Italy and live on a farm in Tuscany.

I now have two kids of my own in college, so I know how important it is that we keep the dream alive for every family and I share the concern about rising tuition costs.
We spend to pretend that we’re upper class. And when the dust clears – when bankruptcy hits or a family member bails us out of our stupidity – there’s nothing left over. Nothing for the kids’ college tuition, no investment to grow our wealth, no rainy-day fund if someone loses her job.
Before I was governor, tuition was skyrocketing, and we stopped that. We capped and then we froze college tuition.
I went to school here at the University of San Carlos for my primary and high school. I was valedictorian in grade school, and I was number one in high school, and because of that, I received free tuition in school. I thank the school for that.

The best math lesson we can teach college students this year is to subtract a tuition increase and benefit from the dividends of higher education.
When my daughter Somah was young, I didn’t have much money. But I was fortunate to find a preschool where I could volunteer in exchange for lower tuition. I saw firsthand how an early childhood education shaped my daughter’s success.
