Get Your FILL, Financial Independence and Long Life Christine Mccarron

Here’s the thing about college planning: the problem is not lack of resources, but having too many resources, sometimes from unreliable channels. They inevitably exaggerate things, making families dread that ‘college talk’ and completely miss the opportunity to plan.

College talk should not be scary. If anything, the conversation needs to happen as early as possible in order to get the best results.

On today’s episode of Get Your FILL, Financial Independence & Long Life, College Funding Specialist Brad Baldridge, helps to demystify college planning and give us some action that we can take today to get moving in the right direction.

Why Brad:

• Brad has worked with thousands of families to plan and save for college using strategies that have been proven to be smart and effective.

• He hosts Taming the High Cost of College, a top-charting podcast in the Education space.

• He appeared in finance-focused podcasts such as Financial Survival Network, Grow Money Business with Grant Bledsoe, Financial Dads, and Money Making Sense.

Brad focuses on helping families navigate their way towards financial aid, scholarships, student loans, and many other strategies.

Want your second 50 years to be your best yet?

In this week's Get Your FILL Podcast, Kathleen Adams shares her strategies and secrets for making the most of your second 50 years.

KATHLEEN ADAMS CFP® CPWA®

Founding Partner | Financial Advisor

Kathleen has a Bachelor of Science degree from Loyola University in Chicago, graduating magna cum laude. She earned her CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification in 2003.
In 2015, Kathleen earned the Certified Private Wealth Advisor® designation, in advanced wealth management strategies at The University of Chicago Booth School of Business as well as the Applied Behavioral Finance Certificate. Most recently, in 2022 she completed the Retirement Management Advisor® program with the Investments & Wealth Institute®, an advanced certification for financial professionals in building personalized retirement income plans focusing on strategies to manage the challenges of today’s world alongside proven solutions from the past. She chose to work in wealth planning because of her father who loved life and adored his family. Despite building a highly successful professional practice on his own, having no debt and owning substantial real estate, he was not able to live the lifestyle he loved after health issues forced him to sell his practice. His legal, tax and insurance advisors never built a strategy for lifestyle preservation and never communicated, so she and her partner started this planning practice to change the game in planning. Kathleen is originally from Chicago but has lived in Manhattan Beach for the last 30 years with her husband, two daughters and most recently, four grandsons.
