Masterly . . .represents an extraordinary achievement: It is comprehensive and detailed without being tedious, practical without being banal, impeccably well judged and unusually rigorous.Daniel Markovits, New York Times Book Review

Ron Lieber is a gift.Scott Galloway

The hugely popular New York Times Your Money columnist and author of the bestselling The Opposite of Spoiled offers a deeply reported and emotionally honest approach to the biggest financial decision families will ever make: what to pay for collegea decision made even more confusing because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Sending a teenager to a flagship state university for four years of on-campus living costs more than $100,000 in many parts of the United States. Meanwhile, many families of freshmen attending selective private colleges will spend tripleover $300,000. With the same passion, smarts, and humor that infuse his personal finance column, Ron Lieber offers a much-needed roadmap to help families navigate this difficult and often confusing journey.

Lieber begins by explaining who pays what and why and how the financial aid system got so complicated. He also pulls the curtain back on merit aid, an entirely new form of discounting that most colleges now use to compete with peers.

While price is essential, value is paramount. So what is worth paying extra for, and how do you know when it exists in abundance at any particular school? Is a small college better than a big one? Who actually does the teaching? Given that every college claims to have reinvented its career center, who should we actually believe? He asks the tough questions of college presidents and financial aid gatekeepers that parents dont know (or are afraid) to ask and summarizes the research about what matters and what doesnt.

Finally, Lieber calmly walks families through the process of setting financial goals, explaining the system to their children and figuring out the right ways to save, borrow, and bargain for a better deal.

The Price You Pay forCollegegives parents the clarity they need to make informed choices and helps restore the joy and wonder the college experience is supposed to represent.

Not A Walking Shoe
Size: 9.5, Color: Black/British Tan
In the photo online this shoe looks like it will be very comfortable. Kind of a classy Coach's Shoe. Also in the photo the heel portion of the sole looks thick and supportive. I bought them thinking they would be my go-to travel shoe. Wrong. This is not a comfortable shoe for extended wear. Short durations, OK. The main problem is that the sole is very thin and flexible in all directions. There is no, as in zero arch support, plus that thin heel means that you tend to rock back on your heels and it feels like you're pounding the pavement. I've worn once and I'm very disappointed. They look great, definitely high quality materials, but using them for the intended purpose of travel.... fah get about it. If you're looking for a good looking shoe to wear around the gym and you don't intend to use the treadmill, or elliptical, then this is the shoe you want. They would definitely be returned if I hadn't already worn them outside.

Waterproof perfect as travel fountain pen case
Awesome very small size waterproof bag. Purchased to use as a travel case for my fountain pens and ink (just in case). Although I have never had an ink accident, I wanted something compact enough to use in a small cross body bag without wasting space for the sake of an extra measure of assurance I wouldn't end up wearing my ink. NOTE, I do not use the disposable ink cartridges only adapters or dropper fill. So if I were to experience an ink mishap it would be more than just a tiny amount of permanent ink. The bag seems to be very well made. It is exactly as described, the only thing that may not be obvious is that the material is quite robust and there is no real give. So it works perfectly as a pencase and for a passport or smaller notebook. I would note recommend using it for something thick or round, like an apple or a larger size bottle of ink. However for a syringe full of ink along with half a dozen fountain pens it's superb! Will definitely buy again when need arises. This would also make for a great safe case for a smaller phone. However current flagship phones will not fit through the limiting zipper length. A future improvement of having the zipper go just around the corner to allow full length access would be an awesome improvement which would then be perfect for a newer model cell phone.
