It’s no secret that postsecondary education is an investment, but do you find yourself asking how much it will really cost and wondering how you will pay for it?
We’ll help you determine the true cost of education after high school and go over all your options for payment – from scholarships and grants to financial aid and student loans. We’ll also cover the topic of timing – when you should begin looking into your options and what to expect from the application process.
There is a cost to indexing that most investors are unaware of. It is called “reconstitution.”

Most people look at the benefits they would receive today when making their decision about when to begin receiving their Social Security. They also underestimate how long they may live unless they already have medical issues that are known to reduce longevity.
These two impulses cause many couples to begin their benefits too early which has an adverse effect for survivor income. When one person dies, the lowest benefit “goes away” and the highest benefit “remains.”
The article below explains how that works with a couple and their Social Security benefits at various ages.

The article discusses an alternative approach to experiencing the costs of index reconstitution, called “Asset Classes,” which allow the fund manager broader leeway as to when to buy or sell, along with a broader range of holdings. This discussion begins in the section called “Decision Two: Indexing or Asset Class Investing?”
The Asset Class approach, also referred to by others as "Factor Investing," is based on what has become to be called “Evidence Based Investing” due to roots discussed in the linked "Factor Investing" article, that come from academic (peer reviewed and repeatable results) foundation that continues to this day.

The Dynamic Implications of Sequence Risk on a Distribution Portfolio Journal...Better Financial Education
A practical method for advisers to measure exposure to sequence risk is through evaluation of the current probability of failure rate (which I've later renames as iteration failure rate to reflect measurement of the Monte Carlo simulation rather than the plan itself - two different things). This paper lead to a deeper investigation of failure rates thus leading to two subsequent papers discovering the three-dimensional nature of simulations over various time periods and allocations, as well as application of longevity to the simulation modeling.

Annual stock market returns are unpredictable, but “up” years have occurred much more frequently than “down” years in the US. That may be reassuring to investors, especially if they find market downturns unsettling.
The US stock market posted positive returns in 75% of thecalendar years from 1926 through 2021.
• The market gained an annualized average of 10.2% during this period. Yet nearly two-thirds of yearly observations were at least 10 percentage points above or below the average.
• Another noteworthy trend: More than two-thirds of the down years were followed by up years. The most recent example: a 5.0% loss in 2018 followed by a 30.4% gain in 2019.

Starting balance $500,000 with $36,000 Social Security. Two simple graphs by age answer many retiree questions about potential future spending and balances. Creates a whole different discussion. Also illustrates why age 95 is a poor reference for planning since it doesn’t plan or consider aging into future ages from the beginning of retirement.

A question of equilibrium - can there be more buyers than sellers? Or more se...Better Financial Education
Have you ever wondered who is buying if so many people are selling?
The notion that sellers can outnumber buyers on
down days doesn’t make sense. What the newscasters should say, of course, is that prices adjusted lower because would-be buyers weren’t prepared to pay
the former price.
What happens in such a case is either the would-be sellers sit on their shares or prices quickly adjust to the point where supply and demand come into balance and transactions occur at a price that both buyers
and sellers find mutually beneficial. Economists refer
to this as equilibrium.
The Happiness Equation as it relates to investing is an interrelationship between your perceptions and expectations of investing and events. How do you manage happiness when you can't manage the markets?
A mistake many inexperienced sailors make is not having a plan at all. They embark without a clear sense of their destination. And once they do decide, they often find themselves lost at sea in the wrong boat
with inadequate provisions.
Destination, contingencies when trouble comes up, course corrections, bad weather and more can happen on the journey. How do you properly prepare for sailing is much the same as investing.
When setting expectations,
it’s helpful to see the range of outcomes experienced
by investors historically. For example, how often have
the stock market’s annual returns actually aligned with
its long-term average? Better yet, how often are the markets positive?
How many times can you use a source of money in your retirement plan? Turns out, just once, unless you know ahead of time WHEN something is going to happen, or if something was NOT going to happen. Since we don't know either, we need to plan on what resources may solve which issues we have in retirement. That plan should be documented in some fashion, otherwise our minds begin to allocate limited resources to everything - and that's when life happens.

This paper essentially demonstrates to academics and the profession that the current method of computing retirement income essentially arrives at a single solution applicable only to today; it does not model the future as currently interpreted. Our paper contrasts the difference between a calculation and a "multi-cast" simulation model.
Our research summary paper is published in the Journal of Financial Planning, Nov 2016. A link to the paper is available here "Combining Stochastic Simulations and Actuarial Withdrawals into One Model." ( http://bit.ly/2eLBUq9 )
Our working paper documenting our research project won the CFP® Board Best Research Paper Award at the 2016 Academy of Financial Services ( http://academyfinancial.org/ ) annual conference through an academic panel using a blind review process.

Investing makes it possible for many of us to achieve important lifetime goals, such as retirement. That’s why we employ an investment approach based on almost nine decades of data, analysis and research, insights from behavioral finance and close relationships with leading academics. There are four key concepts which play a vital role in the construction and management of our portfolios. Together, they add up to a distinctive long-term, approach we call Asset Class, or evidence-based, Investing
There are a number of different methods of calculating investment return, depending on what you’re trying to measure. Perhaps the most basic is total return, which is simply an investment’s ending balance expressed as a percent of its beginning balance. Total return includes capital appreciation and income components; it assumes all income distributions are reinvested. To annualize total return, you’ll need to calculate the compound annual return, which generally requires using a financial calculator. It’s important to keep in mind that you need a greater percentage gain after a losing year in order to break even on your investment.

Most people don’t know how their Social Security benefit is determined. Being unaware leads to this very common question – Will working longer increase, or decrease my Social Security benefit?
Working longer, even part time, will NOT reduce your benefit. And in some cases, may increase your benefit.

Paying off student loans
1. Paying Off Student Loans
Description:
There are many choices for repaying student loans. This checklist can help you weigh them.
Body:
Actively managing your debt is an important step, and your student debt may be one of the biggest
financial obligations you have. There are many strategies that could help you manage student loans
efficiently. Here is a checklist.
Choose a federal loan repayment plan that fits your circumstances:
o The Standard Repayment Plan requires a fixed payment of at least $50 per month and is
offered for terms up to 10 years. Borrowers are likely to pay less interest for this
repayment plan than for others.
o The Graduated Repayment Plan starts with a reduced payment that is fixed for a set
period, and then is increased on a predetermined schedule. Compared to the standard
plan, a borrower is likely to end up paying more in interest over the life of the loan.
o The Extended Repayment Plan allows loans to be repaid over a period of up to 25 years.
Payments may be fixed or graduated. In both cases, payments will be lower than the
comparable 10-year programs, but total costs could be higher. This program is complex
and has specific eligibility requirements. See the Extended Repayment Plan page on the
U.S. Department of Education website for details.
o The Income-Based Repayment Plan (IBR), the Pay as You Earn Repayment Plan, the
Income-Contingent Repayment Plan (ICR) and the Income-Sensitive Repayment Plan
offer different combinations of payment deferral and debt forgiveness based on your
income and other factors. You may be asked to document financial hardship and meet
other eligibility requirements. See the U.S. Department of Education's pages on
income-driven repayment plans and
income-sensitive repayment plans for more information.
Take an inventory of your debt. How much do you owe on bank and store credit cards? On
your home mortgage and home equity credit lines? On car loans? Any other loans? Consider
paying extra each month to reduce the loans with the highest interest rates first, followed by those
with the largest balances.
Free up resources by cutting costs. Consider eating out less, reducing snacks on the go, and
carpooling or using mass transit instead of driving to work. You may also be able to cut your
housing costs, put off vacations and reduce clothing purchases.
Think about enhancing your income. A second job? A part-time business opportunity?
Consider jobs that offer opportunities for subsidies or debt forgiveness.
o Federal civil service employees may be eligible for up to $10,000 a year for paying back
federal student loans. See the U.S. Office of Personnel Management's Student Loan
Repayment Program for more information.
o Nurses working in underserved areas may be eligible for loan assistance through the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' NURSE Corps Loan Repayment
Program.
o Service members in the U.S. Armed Forces are eligible for support. Check out the
service-specific programs offered by the Air Force, the Army, the National Guard and the
Navy.
