Season 2 Episode 4: The Monthly Budget Conundrum

  • Summary

  • This week’s episode comes with all the disclaimers we can drum up. Monthly budgets are extremely student-specific and highly dependent upon the financial situation of each family. There is no one size fits all approach to this one except in the planning. Every students would benefit from a frank conversation during these summer months about the plan for a monthly budget for items outside the tuition/books/housing sphere. Whether it is a discussion about what is and is NOT on the list of things they can expect support with, or just the exercise of planning for how to afford the basics completely on their own, a parents job is to help them think it through now while they are still at home. Join Mindy and Leslie as they navigate this topic with the help of CPA and fellow battle-tested college parent Karen Smoller. Let Karen’s personal and professional experience can help you leap-frog a number of questions and wrong turns as you work through your mental check list of things to stress out about.

    Karen Smoller is mom to two recent college graduates and a CPA at a national accounting firm with over 30 years of experience in money management. I mean honestly, who better to take this advice from.
