Lucas and Luna examine the mechanics of 529 college savings plans, education funding strategies, and the real cost of a degree. Each episode drills into specific plan types — prepaid tuition vs. savings plans, state tax incentives, and investment options — using public data from the College Board and IRS. They compare named universities' net price calculators, discuss the impact of FAFSA simplification, and weigh the trade-offs between 529s, Coverdell ESAs, and taxable accounts. Lucas cites the average annual tuition increase (3.1% per year since 2010) while Luna questions whether families should prioritize retirement over college savings. They explore income-driven repayment plans, scholarship negotiation tactics, and the role of community college as a cost-saving bridge. No generic 'start early' advice — instead, specific scenarios: a family in California vs. Texas, a single parent vs. dual-income household. The listener leaves with a clear understanding of how to match their financial reality to a funding roadmap. Can you afford the school your child wants without sacrificing your own future?
