Have you planned for Pizza?

Have you planned for Pizza? -


You are trying to determine how much money you need to save, net loans and grant money for your children's college expenses. You think you have a handle on this, but have you included pizza once a week? One meal per week means $ 2,000 spent on pizza when your son or daughter graduates from a four-year program. What about the occasional beer? OK, she is under 21, so we will do as soda. I bet you did not understand that in your number, because most families plan their college expenses based on the figures provided by the colleges and universities themselves, which are very loose estimates and the cost of essentials such as transportation and school textbooks of a degree.
The College Board reports that in 2010-2011, students could expect to spend an average of $ 1.137 on textbooks and supplies, and some textbooks can cost several hundred dollars.
Transport is another matter and can run several thousand dollars a year depending on whether your child lives on campus or commute. Or if it switches to what extent and what are the costs? What is the cost of fuel and maintenance of your vehicle?
What if your child decides to live in an apartment? Now you must add rent, insurance, groceries and utilities. What machine, cell phone and Internet service? The list is long.
Ahh! You knew this was going to be painful. But wait. What happens if you're not here to save or pay for it? What if you are hit by the proverbial bus?
I have a solution. It is called life insurance. It is a very cheap solution, and if you get hit by a bus, life insurance can supplement your savings and pay for the education of your child. If you do not have life insurance, you should. Just read one of our lessons in life-stories as Brittney LaCombe's see what happens when you do not.
Put life insurance in your planning. It's part of you take personal accountability for your family.
