Last year's release of the "simplified" FAFSA was scarier than The Exorcist and Rosemary's Baby wrapped together.

You're NOT starring in your own horror movie. 

Tonight, we'll show you how to navigate the financial aid process so that you can comfortably afford college, without scrimping on your lifestyle or racking up tens of thousands -- or hundreds of thousands -- of dollars in debt (that was my personal nightmare,  between college and law school).

Shhhā€¦Donā€™t tell my master Iā€™m doing this

From the desk of Renfield
Personal assistant to Count Andrew Von Fafsala Lockwuud 

Hello. I don’t have much time so I’ll cut to the chase while Count Von Fafsala and Countess Pearlticia are slumbering in their coffins. The sun will set shortly and I’ll be busy tending to their gruesome needs..

Let me be brutally honest:  I didn’t see your name (or even your soul) on the list of victims, um, “people” signing up for the $304.50 off Financial Aid Consulting promo that ended at midnight last night, and I was shocked!  And not in the good way.

But come a little closer, so I can whisper something in your ear (sorry in advance about the insect breath):

I can still get you in for the same deal that expired yesterday.  All you have to do is sign up before the Count and Countess rise again, and nobody gets hurt.  

The Lockwuuds won’t know anything about my evil scheme, so they won’t punish me (which is a bit...

"Hide" Your Savings from the Financial Aid Office

fafsa Sep 17, 2024

Financial Aid Workshop | SAT / ACT Prep

Tonight is all about grabbing the cashola you need and deserve from your kid's college, so that you can actually afford tuition without being forced to eat mac 'n cheese every night, plundering your retirement savings or having to sell a vital organ.  

(Apologies to the mac 'n cheese community, sorry if I offended you.)

In tonight's brand spanking new online workshop, How to Slash College Costs by 56.1%...Even if you think you can't possibly qualify for any type of financial assistance, I'll be showing you how to:

*Legally shelter your savings from the financial aid office

*Negotiate with a college

*Identify which colleges will be generous, and which colleges will never cough up a dime of aid

*Qualify for 56.1% off, even if you make six or seven figures

I know these claims sound hypey, but I'll back them up tonight.

10 Financial Aid Mistakes to Avoid

Financial Aid Workshop | SAT / ACT Prep

If you're frustrated that nobody at your high school has offered to help you figure out how to "work" the system to get financial aid and scholarships, I have news for you:

It's not your fault.

It's weird when you think about it - college is SO freakin' expensive, and you've heard that there's money "out there."

You know, like those scholarships for left-handed oboists of Viking descent with spastic colons.

But your guidance counselor, CPA or Financial Guy is clueless about how it works.

I'm running a new free online financial aid class for you tomorrow, but today I want to talk about mistakes I'll help you avoid when you join us.

There are two kinds of mistakes:  those of commission, and those of omission.

Commission means things like inputting the wrong information into one or more financial aid applications. 

This is easier to do than you might think.   For example, the CSS Profile is more than 200...
