    453 - Before You Send Your Kid to College: Questions Every Parent Should Ask! (Part 2 - Kelly Flowers Interview)

    In this follow-up episode, we zoom out and talk about the bigger picture of helping kids move into adulthood without being buried under student debt. Kelly returns to share why college should be treated as a financial decision, not an emotional one — and why choosing a school based on the prettiest campus, best food, or football team can be a costly mistake. We talk about evaluating the return on investment, choosing schools that accept dual enrollment and AP credits, and why her daughter attended a local school that fit the plan. We also discuss alternatives that don’t get talked about enough: trade schools, gap years, and going to college part-time while figuring out direction. If a student doesn’t know what they want to do yet, pushing them straight into full-time college can lead to major-jumping, dropping out, and still owing loans — which helps no one. Kelly and I also dive into some hard but necessary questions for parents: Do your kids really want to go to college — or do you want them to? And why? We talk about how giving students time, ownership, and even their own money on the line often makes them more motivated to finish. We wrap up with practical advice on starting these conversations early, helping kids build strong resumes, track test scores and activities, and gather references — plus how to connect with Kelly if you want help guiding your own family through this process. This episode is about giving your kids freedom, not financial chains.   Related Episodes: 78 - How to Find $10,000 in Scholarship Opportunities in an Hour a Week 172 - 3 Ways to Search and Find the Scholarships Specific To You 173 - She Paid Off $20,000 in Student Loans in a Few Months, Before Ever Paying Any Interest!

    452 - A Real Mom's Plan to Help Her Daughter Graduate College Debt-Free (With Financial Coach Kelly Flowers)

    What does it actually look like when a parent and student commit to graduating college debt-free? In this episode, I sit down with Kelly, a mom and financial advisor who is actively helping her daughter go through college without student loans. We talk through the real conversations that had to happen early — including the moment they decided she would not take student loans — and how having a clear plan changed everything. From a parent’s perspective, Kelly shares how being intentional, getting on the same page as a family, and involving her daughter directly in the process made all the difference. We also break down practical steps like getting a job during college, contributing to her own 529 account, and finding campus jobs that allow students to get paid while doing homework. You’ll also hear simple explanations of what a 529 account is, how compound interest works, parent loans, and how it compares to a high-yield savings account — all in plain English. If you’re a parent, a student, or both, this episode will help you understand how to get started with a real-life debt-free college plan.

Finding cheap textbooks doesn’t have to be overwhelming anymore. Many students choose to rent textbooks instead of buying new, especially when they only need them for a semester. You can often rent a textbook through major retailers like Amazon or student-focused platforms, and some even look for textbooks for rent through peer-to-peer marketplaces. Others save money by searching for used textbooks, exploring online textbooks, or checking whether rent textbooks Amazon options fit their budget. For short-term access, some students turn to services that let them rent books on Chegg, while others take advantage of textbook buyback programs at the end of the term to recoup some costs. When money is tight, students also look for legal ways to access free textbook PDF versions, especially for older editions or public-domain materials.
