Boomer and Retirement Weekly Reader – Back to School Edition

Free Money Finance has some tips for parents sending kids off to college. Been there, done that.

U.S. News summarizes ten great places to live if you appreciate life long learning opportunities. For financial reasons, I wouldn’t find any of the listed cities attractive but others might.

Also, check out these carnivals where my writing appeared this past week: Carnival of Personal Finance, Money Hacks Carnival, and Carnival of Pecuniary Delights.
