Today, April 21st, 2025, I have some personal news to share.
Many of you know that I have a wonderful small team that works with me to publish and distribute my articles, serve my TRIBE Members, and send my free email newsletter out to the general public every Monday during the school year. (Every other Monday during the summer.)
I want to share with you that in the first 4 months of 2025, my team has suffered a house fire, a child needing extensive care following ACL surgery, and a breast cancer diagnosis that involved surgery, radiation, and long-distance travel to a large number of doctor appointments. Plus other life stressors too numerous to mention here.
Everyone on my team has suffered something significant, including me.
It’s been a lot.
We’re continuing with everything we normally do—with just one exception.
Summer season for my free email newsletter is going to start earlier than usual this year.
Starting April 21st, 2025 and ending August 25th, 2025, my free email newsletter is going to come out every other week.
My TRIBE Membership will continue as normal with no changes.
TRIBE Members, be sure you’re looking carefully at the left sidebar of every newsletter you get this summer, and note all our TRIBE meeting dates in your personal calendar.
TRIBE Members—especially plan to bring your kids (ages 12–26) to my online 1/2-day seminar THE STRATEGIC COLLEGE STUDENT: How to Get Higher Grades While Studying Less Than Most Other People. It will take place on Saturday, August 16th, 2025, from 10:00 am–2:30 pm CDT. (Includes a lunch break halfway through.) Don’t miss this class. It’s one of the most talked about aspects of my TRIBE Membership in the parent testimonials you see here. Can’t make it that day? A recording of this class will be available to my TRIBE Members for at least a month after the class is over.
If you’d like to help me in this tough season of life—here’s what you can do.
Post my articles on your own social media accounts when I provide easy wording to do that. Tell your friends and family across the country to “Go to DebtFreeCollege.US, spend 30 seconds there, and find one thing to be curious about.” Tell people how I’ve helped you.
It’s my greatest hope that I’ll be able to help more and more people, and you can help me do that.
During this summer season, be sure to keep up with your monthly reading assignments in this book I wrote for you:
Important—> It’s a reference book, so nobody reads the whole thing cover to cover. Pick out what you need to read in it using the fast-paced, 10-minute video instructions here.

You can see why financial advising professionals love LAUNCH, here.
You can see the top 9 questions parents are asking me about LAUNCH, here.
Read just one chapter of LAUNCH every 1–3 months while your child’s in middle school and high school, and you’ll know every viable strategy for debt-free college at exactly the right time to implement it.
And if your child’s already well past middle school? That’s OK; you can run to catch up. But the process of getting your kids through college debt-free goes more smoothly the earlier you start it—especially if you’re not planning to save up any money to pay for college.
Let's you and I walk together toward the goal of debt-free college for your kids.
We can accomplish this no matter your current income level—even if your kids never get a single scholarship.
Your first step is getting regularly scheduled, free helpful articles from me—right in your email inbox. Quick, sign up here.
Do you have very specific questions for me about debt-free college and career for your kids?
My TRIBE Members get the most direct access to me—while feeling good that the pennies per day they spend on the TRIBE help me bring debt-free college strategy to families who could never afford to pay for it. Join my TRIBE Membership waiting list here.
