SUMMARY:FPA Connect:  Education Planning: Student Loans and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:In an increasingly competitive economic environment\, pursuing post high school education is viewed by many as a requirement for success. Even while many families view follow-on education as a “must-do”\, many are not fully understanding the financial impact of funding a child’s education or creating a plan to manage it. Often\, families are reacting to a fire that is starting to burn instead of creating a strategic plan for success. This webinar will describe the varied ways families can pay for education expenses\, provide pros/cons of each way\, and provide a framework for how counselors and planners can navigate educational planning discussions with their clients.

SUMMARY:Stay Connected: Helping consumers understand smartphone/computer warranty rights
DESCRIPTION:Earlier this year\, the Pew Research Center reported that 9 in 10 Americans own a smartphone\, and that it’s especially common for lower-income households and households with lower formal education levels to rely on them for internet access.
