I’m Robert Feil, and I’ve
been in the financial services industry for the last twenty years,
projecting
the futures of companies and individuals to help them put their money
to work toward their
prosperity. |

I founded Waterfront
College Planning in 2006 to provide solutions to a challenge that is
facing more
and more parents:
|
| |
| |
“How do
I find a great college or university for my child and pay for it
without sacrificing my own retirement money?” |
|
| |
|
In a few years, your
children will be going off to college. The average total cost
of attending a public university this year is $25,000 to
$30,000. Multiply that by 5 years to graduate and 3 kids, and
families face a total bill of maybe $400,000. The kicker is
that this bill comes due 5 to 10 years before you retire.
|
| |
|
|
| |
In the last few years, I’ve
seen more and more parents sacrifice their own retirement money to pay
for their child’s education. You
shouldn’t have to choose! |
| |
| Most families know that
they should apply for financial aid, but they don’t know how to go
about doing it effectively. They end up receiving few
significant awards and many loan applications, neither of which solves
the financial problem. Loans either saddle their children
with debt just as they start their adult lives, or they take away from
the parents’ retirement as they start a new phase in their lives. |
| |
| I saw this as I worked with
some of my own financial planning clients. And I realized
that paying for college is more than just filling out financial aid
applications and hoping for the best. It’s finding schools
that will make the best effort to reach out to your family with
meaningful aid. It’s making your child desirable enough to
these schools that they will do the most they can to attract your
family to them. It’s researching the financial aid system to
see how your family finances should be positioned to legally and
ethically get the most help. |
| |
| To better serve families in
this situation, I received my Certified College Planning Specialist
credential from the National Institute of Certified College Planners,
one of the leading organizations in the country that specializes in
this unique niche. |
| |
| Then, working with
different consultants and other resources to focus on this issue, I
developed a system to guide you through everything you need to do to
get your child accepted to schools that will benefit him or her most,
and maximize your chances of getting meaningful, non-loan financial
aid. Our system is a logical, coherent approach that meets
these objectives. Each month in our program contains
different steps for you and us to complete on your pathway to college. |
| |
| We stay in touch with you
each month to keep you on track toward achieving everything you need
to. For the particular items that require our specialized
expertise (like searching for the right schools and filling out
financial aid forms), we take care of those for you, so you don’t even
have to worry about them. |
| |
| Most of all, as you face
the challenges of getting into great schools and figuring out how to
pay for them, when you enroll in our program, you will reap the
benefits of knowing just what you have to do, at just the right time,
and that we will be there to take care of everything else that you
shouldn’t be expected to handle. |
| |
| Give us a call at (732)
643-1005 to arrange for a free consultation. We’ll answer all
of your college planning questions for you, and show you how working
with us will significantly benefit your children and your
family. We look forward to meeting you. |
