Talking about college costs isn’t easy—but it matters. Our latest Citizens Student Lending Pulse Survey reveals that while 59% of parents felt confident managing costs when their child was accepted, only 21% felt prepared when the tuition bill arrived. Why the gap? Many families focus on getting into college without fully planning for how to pay for it. We’re here to help bridge that disconnect—with tools, guides, and conversations that help families build a plan and feel financially ready.

The Emotional and Financial Toll of Paying for College
How about bridging the disconnect between your promise of customer service, and your lack of communication around account restrictions, deposited checks, and unexplained account closure? Avoid Citizens Bank at all costs.

Agree.
Tuition costs today are paid with German "1920s Weimar Republic" type dollars--my tuition at Wabash College in '52-'56 was $250-$500/semester 😍

"I reached the end of the convoy, all weapons destroyed, everyone dead… But I heard a baby cry, yet convinced myself that was crazy. Then I heard it louder and followed it. A baby lay in a sling carrier by the side of the road, under some large foliage. It was a beautiful dark and coppery molasses color with big dark eyes. It had a shrapnel wound in its upper left arm. I cleaned my hands with alcohol, and I felt for any piece of metal and bone damage, and the baby wailed. But there was no damage. I looked around to see who the mother might have been, but there were several women rebels in this convoy and nothing seemed obvious. I re-sanitized the wound and bandaged the arm, and the baby continued to cry. I knew I had to get out of there, and the baby had to come with me." https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.pgriobhtha1.substack.com/p/x-rubicon-baby

Thanks Citizens, this is easily the largest and most unpredictable of costs I have forecasted that stands between myself and reaching retirement goals.
