Listeners will also find budgeting tips and strategies inspired by Dave Ramsey, including insights from Financial Peace University, Ramsey Solutions, and the EveryDollar app. We’ll explore practical ways to save money, build a college fund through a 529 plan, and weigh options like college student loans, the Parent PLUS Loan, federal student loans, or even private student loans. Along the way, we share proven approaches to scholarship strategy and highlight scholarship search engines like ScholarshipOwl and Scholarships360 that can simplify the hunt.
