You’ve spent your life saving for your child’s education, and now the time has come for those savings to be used. In this episode of The Agent of Wealth Podcast, host Marc Bautis sits down with college planning expert John Williams to discuss how you can get the most out of your college savings.
In this episode, you will learn:
