Atlas’ clients and friends learned about the ongoing challenges of higher education acceptance and affordability while balancing the need to save for retirement. Saving options were discussed along with important factors for families to consider as they select colleges and plan for the future of their students. Atlas felt very fortunate to be able to partner with Dr. Skarlis and benefit from his insight and expertise.

Atlas will continue to bring this information to clients, their families, and friends in a live webinar on October 30th. The webinar will also be recorded and posted on our website (atlaspwm.com) in early November.

If your family is approaching this life stage or you anticipate a friend or family member could benefit from this information, speak to your Atlas Wealth Management Advisor. Planning for this future expense while balancing your retirement needs can make a big difference.
