At first glance, it might seem like a great gift for parents to fund 100% of their child’s college education.
College can provide a leg-up in the world, and what a joy for a student to graduate without loans! Especially now, when students in the class of 2015 graduated with an average of $35,000 in student loan debt, according to an analysis of government data by Edvisors.
This line of thinking is reasonable if the parents can afford to pay for college in full. However, when students don’t have any financial skin in the game, an opportunity for an impactful teaching moment is lost. Deciding on a career track, applying to college, and learning how to pay for it are the first major financial decisions a young person has to make.
It’s a great time for parents to educate children just when kids need financial education the most! After all, there is a reason financial planners, like me, when advising parents on their estate planning documents, never recommend leaving an 18-year-old full access to life insurance proceeds or an inheritance.
