I once took an accounting course taught by the owner of a retail toy store.\u00a0 From what I recall his demeanor wouldn\u2019t have endeared him to many children (or to many students for that matter), but he did impart some pearls of financial wisdom that I still remember and try to apply when managing my own finances.\u00a0 One was, \u201cA dollar in your pocket today is worth more than a dollar a year from now.\u201d This was his favorite one, and for good reason.\u00a0 You see, a toy store lives or dies based on how effectively its cash flow is managed, because over 50% of annual sales often occur during a 1-month holiday shopping season.\u00a0 So it has to survive the other 11 months on a cash flow diet.<\/p>\n

It now costs an average of $21,447 a year to attend an in-state public college, and over $42,000 a year for a private college.\u00a0 To make matters worse, these costs are rising rapidly.\u00a0 During the past decade they rose 5.6% per year faster than inflation.
