    About this ebook

    As parents, we are responsible for our children until the day we leave this Earth. Yes, this is a different mindset than when we were growing up.

     

    Unfortunately, the economics of life has changed. No longer can one person achieve everything in one lifetime—they will need help.

     

    It starts with making the tough choice between college, trade school, or the military. But this decision involves a significant factor—if you have a property for your children.

     

    Owning a home for your children reduces their workload by 50-75%. Indeed, most of one's income goes toward buying a home.

     

    If we truly want to assist our children, buying a home for them early in life will give us the biggest dividends. It will be a hassle but well worth the pain. Good Luck!

      01  College vs. Property: Which is the Best Investment for Your Children?

      As parents, our children need us more than ever. This goes beyond the ages of zero to eighteen; they will need us until the day we leave this Earth.

      Why do our kids need us so much compared to yesteryear? The world has changed a lot over the past two decades.

      Everything is more expensive, employers see no benefit in taking care of employees, and college and housing prices have risen much faster than wages.

      Tough choices ahead. We will have to make many tough choices as we move forward. Along those lines, we have to guide our children in the best direction sternly.

      I didn’t say right direction because there is no right answer, only good choices that consider mental, emotional, and financial health.

      One of these difficult decisions is whether to attend college or not. College is beyond expensive for the average student and family.

      As parents sign up for expensive loans and children use credit cards, is there a better way to fund our lifestyles?
