Quick Story

We're in the final countdown for our financial aid consulting promo but I wanted to tell you a quick story about a client/friend named Rick, who I hang out every March to watch the basketball games (he's a St John's grad, I want to law school there).

Rick's daughter applied to numerous colleges, getting into most of them.

Murphy's Law being what it is, her worst financial aid offer was at her top choice college, the University of Spoiled Children in Los Angeles.

Rick told her, sorry, if we can't get any more money out of them, you'll have to go to one of the other colleges.  (It's debatable whether he meant it, since he's kind of a pushover.  But aren't we all? :)

Two tense weeks ensued.  I drafted a letter of appeal for Rick to send to USC's financial aid office.  He sent it, but forgot to cc his daughter's admissions officer.  (I have Rick on video, admitting his mistake, thank you very much.)

Once Rick realized his error, thanks to some "gentle" prodding by moi, he quickly disp...

I'll be quicker than an Irish Goodbye, it’s your last chance to grab $500 off our Financial Aid Warrior consulting package before it disappears tonight!

✅ Legally shelter savings & improve eligibility for grants
✅ File all financial aid forms correctly—no missed deadlines!
✅ Get unlimited expert support (no question is too small)
✅ Negotiate for MORE money after your award comes in

All shenanigans aside, this upcoming financial year for Class of 2026 families could be BRUTAL, thanks to the upheaval happening in the Department of Education.

Even before Education Secretary McMahon body-slammed her department, it was easier than that second pint of Guinness to royally screw up your financial aid applications, including 70-100 questions on the FAFSA, 200-300 questions on the CSS Profile, plus responding to "verification" (audit) requests by financial aid officers, keeping track of all deadlines, follow up requests, and so m...

"Hidden" Financial Aid Tactics

Let me learn ya a wee bit about how to get the loot you need and deserve from your kids' colleges...

...so that you can easily and comfortably afford to send them to the top schools they deserve to attend, instead of breaking their little hearts.

First, it matters where you apply. Some colleges are extremely generous, some miserly.

It matters WHERE you apply.

The missus (Pearl) and I have been in the college consulting game for more than 20 years, and can tell you, first hand, about dozens of "deserving" low income families who got ZERO -- across the board -- from their colleges...

...and scores of six-figure earning, high income families who received tens of thousands in aid!

One family can play the game the right way, while the other doesn't.

Most of the time, scholarship and financial aid awards come down to which colleges they applied to.  You must include 1. generous colleges and 2. colleges that will be generous to YOUR CHILD.

That second part is critical.  And OVERLOOKED...

Are Scholarships About Luck? You Need THIS ☘️💰

Most people think winning scholarships and financial aid is just luck.  They cross their fingers, send in their forms, and hope for the best.

Put that in your flute and smoke it. (I don't know what that means either.)

Enough malarkey, let's get serious. Here's what you get when you sign up for our promo, which, for this week only, gets you $500 off our Financial Aid Warrior package...

🏴‍☠️🍀 Beat The Financial Aid Office...

Faith and Begorrah!

Did you know financial aid offices are like sneaky leprechauns? Notwithstanding the blarney on their websites about how much aid they dole out, they’d rather keep their pot of gold for themselves than give it to you!

Colleges are businesses, and, like most for-profit operations, they're not exactly in the business of showing YOU how to pay less!

Quite the opposite, lads and lasses.

That’s why you need real financial aid strategies—the kind that legally shelter your savings, avoid screw-ups on forms, and even help you negotiate MORE aid after your award comes in.

This week only, you can get $500 off our full-service Financial Aid Warrior package—your personal roadmap to paying less for college.

🍀 GREEN – for the 1-pay option

The $26,400 Email Colleges Hope You Never Write

A simple email helped one family save $26,400 at Holy Cross. No begging, no sob stories—just knowing how to play the game.

(Well, maybe a little begging.)

I'm tee'ing up a new workshop, "How to 'Print' Scholarships on Demand" tomorrow night, to show you exactly how to slash your tuition bill by 56.1%. Here’s the theory of the case:

🚨 You do NOT have to pay full price for college—even if you’re “too rich” for aid. 🚨

Spoiler alert: you're not. Paying Full Boat is a CHOICE, not an obligation.

I’m offering a free, no-BS workshop. On this call, will discover:

🔥 Why your financial aid officer is NOT your friend (And why trusting them will cost you bigly)
🔥 How to “guilt-trip” colleges into giving you more money (Even if you don’t “need” it)
🔥 The double-secret financial aid formula (And the hiding in plain sight "loopholes" you can use to shelter your savings from the financial aid office)

Broadly speaking, there are two types of families this workshop is for:

✅ Six-figure earning famili...
