If you care for the future of your child...

Go ahead and make the first biggest investment (in terms of value) you can ever make for your children - by buying and reading this book!Mike Powers uses strong and straightforward language, which urge parents to think, with words like, "What we are buying for our children is the ability to get good job and make more money over the course of their lifetime, without it, they are headed for 50 years of wearing funny little paper hats and endlessly repeating "would you like fries with that?" We know this and we'll pay whatever it costs to help them avoid it." He explains why the colleges are so costly, where and why the colleges spend so much and how much it will cost in the next years to come. He suggests which colleges suit your child and what fits in our pocket. He has divided the book in to parts, investment and aid; I think all the possibilities are covered.However, if you are already into investment, what you will find on "your contribution" section will appear basic. Also, if your child is about to go to the college in a few years time, the "other resources" section will look rudimentary. Unfortunately, Mike Powers does not reveal any specific strategy or scheme, which an individual can follow. Not withstanding this, if you are interested in the welfare of your children, reading this book will definitely change your mindset, and help you start investing for the bright future. Particularly, parents who have small children will be highly benefited by reading this book.
