Paying for College: What Families Need to Know Before the Tuition Bill Arrives
The tuition bill is coming. The plan doesn’t have to wait until it arrives.
Nightingale Wealth Solutions invites you to an evening at our Needham office focused on one of the most significant financial decisions a family will ever make: how to pay for college without putting your own future on hold.
We’ll walk through the options in plain language. How 529 plans actually work and where they fall short. How UGMA/UTMA accounts, Roth IRAs, and taxable savings compare on flexibility, tax treatment, and financial aid impact. What the FAFSA really looks at, and which assets sit where. When borrowing makes sense, and what it means for parents and students alike.
Mostly, we’ll talk about the question underneath all of it: how to give your child everything you hoped to, while protecting the retirement you’ve spent decades building. Those two goals feel like they compete. With the right structure, they usually don’t.
Come with your questions. This is a conversation, not a presentation. As a fiduciary firm, our only job is to help you understand the choices in front of you clearly enough to make the right one for your family.
Date: October 7, 2026
Time: 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM
Location: NWS Office, 1040 Great Plain Ave., Needham, MA
