Key Points
Not all financial professionals are looking out for you. Make sure they are held to the fiduciary standard at all times.
Before seeing a financial professional, make sure you’ve already paid off consumer debt, you’ve built an emergency reserve fund, and you’re maximizing your retirement fund contributions.
Prioritize your own retirement savings before setting aside money for your children’s tuition.
Make sure the cost of a degree is worth the expected income.
