College is expensive as we all know. Putting a price tag on opportunities, education and the future is impossible, but preparing for the days when your children have finished high school and are ready to explore the world of higher learning is crucial.

In addition to life being unpredictable, it also moves fast. One day, you hold a baby in your arms, and then you blink a few times to find that your baby has outgrown your arms and is in fact, no longer a baby.
