If you’ve ever wished someone would just give you short, succinct, easy-to-follow advice about paying for college, the kind you don’t need a masters degree in accounting or finance to understand, look no further than Mark Kantrowitz’s new book, Twisdoms about Paying for College (a Twisdom—apparently—is a short, tweetable wisdom).
Here’s an example: “Every dollar you borrow will cost about two dollars by the time you repay the debt.”
I majored in English and history and never took a math class in college (which was entirely intentional). But even I can understand that (t)wisdom. The book is loaded with 400 of them. It’s the shortest, most accessible path to college financing wisdom that I’ve seen.
