How to Keep Your Kid from Moving Back Home after College

Finally, here is a book that helps parents guide their student through college from acceptance letter to graduation day. College is one of the most expensive purchases parents make. Yet, only a third of college students graduate in four years and barely a quarter of new college graduates have a job at graduation. Even more sobering is that 80% of college students move back home with their parents after graduation. This book gives parents the knowledge and tools to help guide and inspire their students to get the most out of college and graduate with the job of their dreams.

The three authors, Bill Pratt, Mark C. Weitzel, and Len Rhodes, are industry leaders in personal financial education. Together, they have a combined 75 years of experience in banking, economics, and entrepreneurship. Now, they teach thousands of students personal finance concepts and decision making skills, author textbooks and public press books on personal finance, and help schools develop innovative personal finance literacy programs. Recently, they were instrumental in developing a personal financial management certification program for leaders in higher education. Their books, lectures, and programs give students, parents, and educators the tools and knowledge to make good financial decisions all their lives.
