THE TRUTH ABOUT YOUR FUTURE with Ric Edelman

In this third episode of my special college series, I'm going to give you some hard truths that might make you uncomfortable – but they could save your teen's financial future. I start by revealing a shocking statistic: engineering graduates earn $73,000 five years after graduation, while psychology majors earn just $40,000 – yet both degrees cost exactly the same at any given school. This isn't fair, and it's why you need to think about college as an investment that must generate a solid return. Here's what I really want you to understand: the days of "follow your passion" advice are over. When college cost $5,000 total back in the 1960s and few people had degrees, any diploma set you apart. Today, with 60% of high school graduates going to college and degrees costing up to $300,000, your teen faces massive competition and must choose a major that leads to high-paying work. I spend significant time explaining why student loans are so dangerous – and they're nothing like other loans. Unlike mortgages or car loans, student lenders give money directly to 18-year-olds with no income requirements, no collateral, and no monthly payments for up to seven years. The results are devastating: 71% of borrowers delay major life decisions like buying homes, getting married, or having children because of their debt. Even worse, you can't discharge student loans in bankruptcy, and 37% of students drop out but still owe the money. I share alarming statistics about wage garnishments and how 4 million parents owe $65 billion in parent PLUS loans. My message is clear: choose an inexpensive college, graduate in four years, and avoid student loans entirely. Next week, I'll show you exactly how to minimize college costs and reveal the 12 biggest mistakes students make. This episode is essential listening for any parent who wants to help their teen get a college education without destroying their financial future.

Hey there! This is part two of my special podcast series celebrating my new book, "The Truth About College," coming December 4th. Today, I'm taking you on what might be the most important detour we'll make in this entire series. I want to talk to you about something most families completely miss when discussing college: lifestyle and money. Before your teenager even thinks about which school to attend, they need to understand what kind of life they actually want to live after graduation. I'm going to challenge you to ask your teen some tough questions. When they travel, do they want to stay at a $270-a-night hotel or a $5,000-a-night suite? Economy class for $100 or business class for $1,000? These aren't just hypothetical questions – they reveal the income level your teen will need to support their desired lifestyle. Here's the problem: most people choose a career first, then build their lifestyle around whatever income that career provides. That's completely backwards! You should figure out your desired lifestyle costs first, then choose a career that can fund it. Just ask the 300,000 teachers who quit last year – many citing compensation as the primary reason. I'll also dive deep into something no one talks to teens about: taxes. That $80,000 salary your teen is excited about? They'll actually net around $56,000. Everything costs more than they think because of taxes, fees, and the real cost of living. Then we get into the nitty-gritty of college costs. Spoiler alert: it's not just tuition. When you factor in inflation, the reality that most students take six years to graduate (not four), and all the hidden costs, we're talking about potentially $600,000 less in retirement savings for students who don't graduate on time. This episode is about making sure your teen makes informed decisions about their future – because the choices they make now will determine the lifestyle they can afford for the rest of their lives.

Hey, Ric Edelman here, and I'm back with something special: a four-episode podcast series about college. After 32 years on the radio and three years as a Top 1% podcast, I couldn't stay away when I realized how many families are struggling with the biggest decision teenagers face today. Here's the reality: College graduates earn nearly a million dollars more over their careers and live seven years longer than non-graduates. But here's what's scary: a quarter of freshmen drop out, only 62% graduate in six years, and 42% are still paying student loans 20 years later. No wonder 78% of adults say college isn't worth the cost anymore! In this first episode, I'm sharing the top 10 mistakes parents make about college - from assuming your teen must go, to not funding their education properly, to giving them unlimited choices without parameters. I've seen these mistakes destroy families financially and emotionally during my decades running the largest independent financial planning firm in the nation. But here's the good news: when done right, college can set your teen up for an amazing life. I'm going to show you the one goal every college-bound student needs to set - and it's not just "going to college." It's graduating in four years, debt-free, on the Dean's List, with a degree that leads to their dream career. I even share my personal story of how I went from a 2.1 GPA to straight A's - and the exact study method that got me there. Spoiler alert: it's all about hard work, not being super smart! This series launches alongside my 14th book, "The Truth About College," coming December 4th. Whether you're a parent, educator, or student, this is your roadmap to making college work - or deciding if it's even the right path.

Gold plays a key role in portfolio diversification, however, buying physical gold involves significant challenges such as storage, security, and commissions, which has led many investors to opt for gold-backed ETFs like GLD, offering convenience, liquidity, and lower costs.

The question "What do you do?" has long been a standard icebreaker, but for many, especially those facing retirement, career changes, or gig work, it’s a challenging question that doesn’t fully capture who they are. Instead of focusing on a job, the key is to reframe the answer to give new perspective on identity and spark more meaningful conversations. #ReframeYourIdentity #CareerChanges #PersonalFulfillment #HobbiesAndPassions #WhatDoYouDo #RetirementLife #JoblessLife #CareerTransition #ReinventYourself #SocialConnection #MeaningfulConversations #LifeBeyondWork #webinars #personalfinance #investmentmanagement #cryptoeducation #financialliteracy #investmentstrategy #financialplanning ----- Stay Connected on Ric's Distribution List https://bit.ly/ric_edelman Ask Ric: https://www.thetayf.com/pages/ask-ric ----- Links from today’s show: 1/15 Webinar - Your Crypto Questions Answered: https://dacfp.com/events/your-crypto-questions-answered 12/10 Webinar Replay - The Retirement Revolution: ETF Solutions for Modern Retirement Planning: https://www.thetayf.com/pages/the-retirement-revolution-etf-solutions-for-modern-retirement-planning 12/9 Webinar Replay - What the Election Results Mean for Crypto: https://dacfp.com/events/what-the-election-results-mean-for-crypto 2/24-2/26 Wealth Management Convergence-2025: https://www.thetayf.com/pages/convergence 11/13 Webinar Replay - An Innovative Way to Generate Income in a World of Declining Rates: https://www.thetayf.com/pages/november-13-2024-an-innovative-way-to-generate-income 10/9 Webinar Replay - Crypto for RIAs: Yield, Staking, Lending and Custody.
