When I drove Mandy Evans back to the airport, she asked me an interesting question: “Have you always encouraged people?” She had spent four days with me and observed me encouraging complete strangers to go for their dreams.

Just graduate from college? If you did, you're probably getting advice right and left from friends and family. Even that creepy old neighbor of yours that showed up to your grad party uninvited gave you advice. While some of their advice is sound, the one topic they will probably avoid is personal finance. No one says, "Make sure to pay down your credit cards!" when giving you advice. Even if that's the exact advice you need. So here it is.

When it comes to saving for college, you could go it alone, putting pennies in a jar and dollars in a regular savings account, but it probably won’t get you very far these days. Not with the ever higher cost of higher education. That’s where a college savings plan comes in.

The War on Abstinence By Ryan T. Anderson The Los Angeles Unified School District doesn’t want Karen Kropf talking to its students. District leaders fear that what she says isn’t “balanced” and that she’s not a certified “expert” in the field.
