I recently spoke with Certified Financial Planner Dan Cieniewicz, aka The College Dude, about the recent changes to the FAFSA and its subsequent mess.
In our conversation Dan shared with us some of the big changes, both positive and negative, that parents need to be aware of, including:
Changes in income and asset calculations
Including retirement savings
How 529 Plans are calculated
How businesses and farms are counted as assets
The elimination of the “multiple student discount”
Student loan options
Retirement planning impacts of paying for college
