Choosing whether or not to fund college or retirement

07/29/11

While many individuals are approaching retirement age at record numbers, parents are often faced with the dilemma of how much money they should put aside for retirement and what amount can be put into their childrens college funds.

Many Americans are still struggling to recover from the financial crisis the country went through over the last several years, and some of those individuals lost a significant amount of money in the economic downturn.

Additionally, some people may have been using the value in their home as a retirement or collegiate nest egg for themselves and their children, but with the housing crash that equity may be lost for years.

Some experts feel that parents should take care to fund their retirement before their children’s college savings, but parents often have difficulties putting their needs before their sons and daughters'. The ability to put someone through college may be a great gift, but not becoming a burden and moving in with them when they are young adults or trying to start a family may be an even bigger present.
