A few weeks ago I shared Mark Kantrowitz’s advice about how much to save for college, but paired it with some of my own for families who hadn’t started saving as soon as they would have liked. Today, Kantrowitz returns with his own follow-up for later-starting-savers, and his piece can be found here.

There’s some overlap between his advice and mine, particularly around embracing the idea that it’s never too late to start saving and that applying for financial aid is a must-do for every family no matter how much or little you’ve saved. But Kantrowitz has always been my go-to resource for learning and understanding how to navigate the financial aid process, and I’ll default to sharing his advice here as frequently as he can churn it out.
