We took our high school sophmore to a college fair and we just received the first of what I'm sure will be many, many offers to help pay for college. I've received lots of these seminar invitations concerning retirement and have always thrown them straight into the trash. But this time I thought maybe we should take a look because we've saved for 4 years at a state university and our student is leaning toward a private, religious college. Which is OK, just not exactly what we budgeted for.
Has anyone attended one of these seminars? The typical, free dinner, listen-to-how-we-can-help-you speech?
I can't find any reviews or epinions on this seminar. I'm a natural skeptic and I don't believe there is such a thing as a free lunch or dinner. I'm wondering if this is like a timeshare presentation where they'll try to pressure us into buying a "membership". I'm really good at saying "no" but I don't want to waste an evening.
TIA,
Wendy
