Helping your kids with college is a priority—but so is your own retirement.

Key takeaways

Prioritize retirement: Your kids can borrow for college, but you can’t borrow for retirement, so make your retirement saving a non-negotiable baseline.

Use a budgeting framework: A monthly budget helps you see what’s realistically available to allocate before deciding how much to direct toward college.

Fit tools around your priorities: Put money toward kids’ college without pulling back on your debt paydown and retirement savings.

Consider different tools: You have a few financial tools to choose from, depending on your family’s situation.

Let compound interest work for you: Starting early with even modest contributions can give your college savings more time to grow without breaking your budget.

Avoid shortcut attempts: Resist turning to high-risk/speculative assets, such as cryptocurrencies, sports betting, and prediction markets, for college savings.

Fall is the perfect time for a financial reset. Review your benefits, taxes, and retirement contributions before year-end deadlines.

Key takeaways

Fall is a natural reset point: Use the seasonal shift to revisit budgets, savings goals, and year-end deadlines before they expire.

Time-sensitive moves are worth acting on now: Open enrollment, tax-loss harvesting, and maxing tax-advantaged contributions all have hard deadlines.

Don’t let seasonal spending derail your goals: Planning ahead for holiday and winter expenses can help you avoid unnecessary financial stress.

Your financial advisor can help you prioritize: Working with a Northwestern Mutual financial advisor turns a broad checklist into a coordinated, personalized plan.
