Supporting a hero!

If you thought layawayplans had gone the way of

eight-track players andfloppy disks, think again. Thedeferred payment or in-stallment plan, oncepopular with budget-conscious consumersespecially during theholiday season is mak-ing a big comeback.

For people whoare unfamiliar with theconcept or were born

after the 1980s (wheninstallment plans gaveway to credit card pur-chases and other types of fi-nancing), layaway is a simpleway to purchase merchandise,interest-free, over time. Con-sumers select the items theywant to buy from a retailer of-

fering the plan, make a de-posit, which often includes a

modest service charge, and payfor the merchandise over a

specified period. Once theitem has been paid in full, theretailer releases the goods tothe consumer. The only poten-tial glitch is if the consumerfails to make payments in full

or on time. In that event, theretailer has the option of re-

turning the customers pay-ments (fewer service charges)and reselling the items.

While theres nodoubt that todays shakyeconomy has contributedto the revival of layawayplans, economists andrepresentatives of severalof the nations leadingretailers and layawayproviders. Sears, K-Mart,

Burlington Coat Factory,Marshalls, TJ Maxx, ToysR-Us, and Hallmark insist

that the recession is only partof the story. For retailers, lay-away plans open the doors tomillions of new customers whowould not be able to make pur-

Layaway plans make a comeback

Buying items on layaway gives shoppers theability to pay in installments without any

interest. The concept is once again gaining popularity in many stores.

chases without them. For con-sumers, paying in installmentsis increasingly viewed as a

sound financial tool for pur-chasing necessities and man-aging expenses, particularlyduring the holiday season.

Overall, layaway plans areheavy on benefits, including:No fine print: For the mostpart, retailers layaway plansare straightforward and easy

to understand.No credit checks: Creditchecks are not required toenter into a layaway contract.Layaway is a great option forpeople who are trying to re-build their credit, due to fore-closure or past credit cardproblems.No need to leave home:Some retailers have launchede-layaway programs, making

it possible for consumers topurchase online over time.There are only a few draw-backs to layaway plans, butthey are worth noting:Missed payments: Making

payments and making themon time is the key to a suc-cessful layaway purchase. Thepenalty for missing paymentsis the cancellation of the lay-

away contract. However,most plans offer a seven-daygrace period for missed pay-ments. It is important toknow the details of each re-tailers plan before signing acontract.Missed sale prices: For shop-pers who count on cashing inon Black Friday sales, layawaymight not be an option. Someretailers dont offer Black Fri-

day prices to layaway cus-tomers, so it pays to checkwith the stores you plan topatronize before the holidayshopping season begins.

M arkets heat-up,blood pressure boilsand tempers flare,but, your retirement incomemust remain constantthrough all market condi-tions, corrections and crashes.Your retirement portfolio isnot a disposable and discre-

tionary fund. When you stopworking, thats it, no morepaycheck! Outside of any pos-sible inheritance there are noother fall-back zones or de-fenses. Your portfolio is youronly lifeline! Have youthought about it that way?Its true, although hard to ac-cept. If your portfolio is com-promised, there will be onlyyour parents if theyre alive

and your children to rely on maybe. Are you satisfied orconfident with these alterna-tives to a failed portfolio? Iask you, what may cause yourportfolio to fail? Better stated,how many reasons or situa-tions will we face during ourretirement years that havethe possibility of totally com-promising our retirement nestegg? I can think of 5 Forces

of Portfolio Demise, can youthink of any others?1.Stock and Bond Market

Losses2. Cost of Health Care in-

cluding deductibles and co-pays3. Long-term care in a nurs-ing home or custodial care atyour own home4. Taxes at death Income orEstate Tax at both the Federaland State levels5. Lawsuit Liability whenyou have assets, you are anautomatic target

If you become compro-

mised, mentally or medically,yet are covered financially,you still need the legal docu-ments to appoint the peoplethat you select to make the fi-nancial and health related de-cisions on your behalf. Haveyou done this yet? This is inaddition to or in concert withyour appointment of execu-tor(s) and trustee(s). Haveyou set up your portfolio to be

self-completing in providingincome for your monthlymaintenance and or for yourspouses benefit, regardless of your health and decisionmaking abilities? Do you havea wealth magnification andtransfer program to bolsteryour bequest, best benefitingyour spouse and kids whenyou are gone? Have you en-dowed your charitable giving

so your gifts will keep on giv-ing in perpetuity? Have youset-up a self-completing re-

tirement program for yourchildren and grandchildren ,

if you have any? Have youmade your Christmas vaca-tion plans yet?

If youve answered no toany of these questions, yourretirement and estate planneeds a check-up from theneck-up! I cannot stressenough the vital importanceof preparedness. Rememberthe 7 Ps: Proper Prior P lan-ning Prevents Poor Perform-

R onnie is in kinder-garten. Ronnies mo-ther describes him as adifficult child. He only wants

to wear old t-shirts and jeans.He argues with his mother eachtime she cooks something newfor dinner and refuses to eat. Hethrows tantrums at the mall.Shopping for clothes is almostimpossible. When playing withother children, Ronnie isbossy. Ronnie is happiestwhen he is following his rou-tine. He dislikes surprises.When his mother and father

hug him, he stiffens. He loveshis German shepherd and willlie on the floor with her forhours. Ronnies mother wonderswhat she is doing wrong.

In school, Ronnie hasbeen sent to the principals of-fice several times for hittingother children. He sometimesrefuses to participate in groupactivities. During arts and crafts,Ronnie usually asks to go to the

bathroom.During his six year oldcheckup, Ronnies mother de-scribed these observations to

her pediatrician who recom-mended an occupational ther-apy evaluation. The evaluationrevealed that Ronnie has a sen-

sory processing disorder, specifi-cally, a sensory modulationdisorder (SMD). This meansthat Ronnies nervous sys-tem over responds to every-day sensations.

A child with a modu-lation disorder can appear tohave behavior problems.Refusal to participate in ac-tivities, rigid adherence toroutines and pushing others

away are actually strategiesused to avoid what thechilds nervous system regis-ters as a threat. Picture your-self in the kitchen atmidnight. The lights areturned off and you thinkeveryone is asleep. Suddenlysomeone taps your shoulder. Inthis situation, your nervous sys-tem reacts with a fight orflight response. You jump, your

pulse races, you feel afraid. For achild with SMD, the fight orflight response is triggered byeveryday stimulation including

the feel of a new shirt or glue ontheir hands. Being bumped byanother child in line may be in-terpreted as being punched.

Over reaction to one event isonly the beginning of the prob-lem for a child with SMD.

Often they are unable to calmtheir nervous system and thesensory events build up over thecourse of the day. Even if a child

has strategies to calm them-selves, these may not appear so-cially acceptable or mayinterfere with life skills, as when

Ronnie spends arts and craftstime in the bathroom. So whatcan be done?

A qualified occupational

therapist uses a detailed parentand child interview as well asstandardized assessments to de-

termine the nature of a sen-sory processing disorder.There are several types of sen-sory processing disorders andthey can vary in degree andpresentation. Once the spe-cific nature of the disorder isuncovered, the family needsto understand what is going

on. In almost all cases, theparent and child are relievedto hear that there are reasonsbehind the behaviors and thathelp is readily available.

Therapy for SMD consistsof age appropriate, motivatingplay oriented activities that

aim to regulate the childs nerv-ous system. Various types of sen-sory rich activities are usedincluding: movement, deep

pressure and resistance whichstimulate the sensory receptorsin the muscles and joints, tac-tile, visual and auditory input.

Foods and scents can also beused. As the child responds pos-itively in therapy, a sensory dietis developed for home and

school. This diet incorporatesactivities and modifies chal-lenges to enable the child to in-crease their abilities to not onlytolerate, but to enjoy and learnfrom sensations they previouslyavoided. For Ronnie, the vac-uum cleaner turned out to beone of his favorite toys. Thevibration helps to regulate hisnervous system! His mother, un-derstanding his challenges,

washes new clothes severaltimes before Ronnie wears themso that they felt softer and smelllike his other clothes. She hasfound that Ronnie prefers rawcarrots and string beans to thecooked ones that she had beentrying to convince him to eat.Most importantly, she learnedthat Ronnie enjoys bear hugs aslong as she does not stroke hishair. Ronnie and his teacher are

pleased that when he stands atthe end of the line to avoidbeing bumped, he no longerpushes or hits his peers. She

moved his desk so that he sits atthe end of the row. Ronnie is al-lowed to use a special brush toscrub his hands before and afterfinger painting.

Working with his occupa-

tional therapist helped Ronnieto learn what he needs to do tofeel just right. He can now usehis strategies before going tobirthday parties and play dates.He is making friends and is ahappier child.

If your child has been diag-nosed with Sensory ModulationDisorder or has been classifiedas difficult and would like toconsult with Andrea, please do

not hesitate to contact her atKids Therapy Center 973-616-8300.

Oh, no ... not again!Your child awakesfeverish and listless,

complaining of a hot, painfulear. It is the fourth time thisyear shes contracted an earinfection and you are desper-ate for answers. More antibi-otics, tubes in the ears ... whatare the alternatives?

Middle ear infection, orotitis media, affects two-thirds of children by two yearsof age, making it the mostcommon medical diagnosis inchildren. Approximately athird of all children will ex-

prience at least six episodes of this disorder before enteringschool. Some children haveup to twelve episodes in a sin-gle year. Several bouts of re-occurring infections canresult in permanent damageto the inner ear.

Typical medical treat-ment of otitis media involvesthe prescription of oral an-tibiotics, commonly amoxi-cillin. However, researchpublished in the Journal of the American Medical Asso-ciation (Dec /91) reveals notonly is amoxicillin ineffective

for otitis media, it actuallyworsens the condition. Thereis also the problem of re-peated use of antibiotics andthe evolution of superbugs,those growing numbers of an-tibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Eventually, despite fail-ure of the antibiotics, thebodys own immune systemtakes care of the infectionand all is well. Or so it ap-pears, until the next reoccur-rance. After several episodesof this, it is recommendedyour child has tubes im-planted in their ears, a proce-dure called tympanostomy

tube surgery, the most com-mon operation for children.But wait, didnt you readsomething about this ... yes,the April 1994 Journal of theAmerican Medical Associa-tion published research thatexamined 6,429 cases of tym-

T he term polydipsiarefers to excessivethirst. We see this asan increase in the amount of water being drank, which inturn usually leads to polyuria,which means your cat is uri-nating more often and alarger volume.

These changes may bevery subtle and slowly pro-gressive or quite obvious. Youmay observe an increase inthe amount of wet litter in acats litter box or even acci-dents outside the litter box.Some cats may begin drinkingfrom a dripping faucet in thesink or from an open toiletbowl. However, if you want todetermine exactly how muchyour cat is drinking, allowhim only one source of waterand subtract the amount leftin the bowl after 24 hoursfrom the amount you put inoriginally. On average, catstake in about 2 cups perday for a 10 pound cat. Thisincludes any water that istaken in from other sources,such as, from canned food.

If you determine thatyour pet is drinking exces-sively or just think its morethan usual, make an appoint-ment with your veterinarian

because polyuria and polydip-sia (drinking and urinatingmore) can be an early sign of a serious disease. These caninclude: kidney failure, dia-betes mellitus, hyperthy-roidism (overactive thyroid),liver disease, electrolyte ab-normalities, pyometra (uter-ine infection), other lesscommon endocrine disordersand diabetes insipidus.

Several diagnostic tests

may be needed to determinethe cause of your catspolyuria and polydipsia be-cause many different diseasescan cause these signs. Any

visit to your vet should beginwith a complete medical his-tory and thorough physicalexamination. Initial testingmay include: measurement of water intake at home, com-plete blood count (CBC),blood chemistry tests (includ-ing electrolytes), urinalysis,urine culture and sensitivity,thyroid hormone (T4) con-centration and abdominal x-rays or ultrasound.

In older cats, the threemost common disease condi-tions seen in practice thatcause polyuria and polydipsiaare kidney failure, diabetesmellitus and hyperthyroidism.

Diabetes mellitus diag-nosis is based on high bloodglucose concentration andthe presence of glucose, andoften incompletely brokendown fat products called ke-tones in the urine. This dis-ease is very treatable longterm. Initial treatment de-pends on the severity andmay include hospitalizationwith intensive fluid and elec-trolyte therapy in conjunc-tion with administration of short-acting insulin or outpa-tient management with long-acting insulin.

Kidney insufficiency orfailures diagnosis is based onserum biochemistry tests andurinalysis. Treatment is basedon rehydrating the cat, tryingto slow the progression of thekidney disease by dietarymodification and treatingcomplications such as hyper-

tension, nauseaand urinary tractinfection.

H y p e r t h y -roidisms diagno-sis is based onmeasurement of thyroid hormoneconcentration viabloodwork. Diffi-cult cases may require special-ized blood tests or imaging.Treatment consists of drugtherapy or radiation or lesscommonly surgery. This dis-ease is also very treatable longterm. Treatment with ra-dioactive iodine (I-131)will require referral to a spe-cialty clinic or teaching insti-tution in your area.

Optimal treatment of any persistent medical condi-tion depends on establishingthe correct diagnosis. Thesymptom group polyuria andpolydipsia has many differentpotential causes, and it is im-portant to identify the under-lying cause before beginningtreatment. Please visit yourveterinarian as soon as you

notice any changes becausewith an early diagnosis youoften get a better outcome.

Jeffrey B. Wise, M.D.,F.A.C.S., double board-cer-tified Facial Plastic and Re-constructive surgeon, is proudto announce the Wise Signa-ture Lift. The Wise Lift is a cul-mination of Dr. Wises extensiveexperience in facial rejuvena-tion. Having performed over3,500 facial rejuvenation andeyelid procedures, he focuses ex-clusively on plastic surgery of the face.

Dr. Wise underwent histraining at some of our countrysfinest institutions, specificallyYale, Cornell and the Univer-sity of Pennsylvania. He shareshis expertise at the New YorkUniversity School of Medicine,where he teaches Facial Plastic

and Reconstructive Surgery.His artistry, compassion, and ex-ceptional skills led to his beingnamed one of Americas TopPhysicians by the ConsumersResearch Council of America.

Based on Dr. Wises vastknowledge and experience, theWise Signature Lift was devel-oped to address facial rejuvena-tion with a global approach.The multiple rapid recoveryprocedures work together togive overall cosmetic improve-ment. Dr. Wise leaves his pa-tients looking natural, refreshedand healthy, without the tell-tale signs of surgery.

The Wise Lift is comprisedof multiple procedures includ-ing face-lifting, fat transfer, frac-tionated CO2 laser skinresurfacing, and upper andlower eyelid procedures (ble-pharoplasty). When performedconcurrently, these procedurestarget the primary symptoms of an aging face: loose skin, finelines and wrinkles, brown spots,fatty deposits and loose skinaround the eyes, and lost vol-ume in the cheeks and folds.

Dr. Wises specializedfacelift technique tightens theskin in the neck and lower faceby suspending the sagging mus-cles and fascia to obtain a longlasting correction. Incisions aretiny with his cutting-edge pro-cedure and strategically placedin creases and folds. All of theabove promotes a natural,youthful profile to the jaw lineand neck.

After tightening the loosetissues in the jaw line, jowls, andneck, the skin is rejuvenatedwith Dr. Wises state of the artfractionated CO2 laser. TheCO2 laser resurfaces the skinsfine lines and wrinkles andbrown spots, while allowing fordeeper skin penetration, lesspain and optimal results.

Facial plastic surgeonshave long recognized the impor-tance of volume enhancementto restore a rested and youthfullook. Dr. Wise finds fat to bethe ideal non-allergic soft tissuefiller, in comparison to conven-tional dermal fillers. By replen-ishing lost volume in the foldsand cheeks, the young architec-

ture of the face is rediscoveredwith long-lasting, natural re-sults.

Dr. Wises comprehensiveapproach includes rejuvenationof the eyes, where the signs of the aging process begin. Dr.

Wises precise upper and lowereyelid procedures eliminateextra skin and correct puffybags. Most importantly, a natu-ral look is achieved that doesnot compromise the shape ororiginal beauty of the eye.

The ultimate in facial reju-venation, the Wise SignatureLift is a multi-faceted compre-hensive technique developedand performed exclusively forthe patients of Dr. Wise. He has

A s one of the most com-monly injured struc-tures in the knee, themeniscus is unique because of itsblood supply. For both the me-dial and lateral menisci, the

blood supply is from the outsidein. The closer to the center of the knee, the less of a blood sup-ply there is to the meniscus.From the treatment and healingpoint of view, the blood supply

anatomy is critical. The outerone third of the meniscus has agood blood supply where heal-ing can occur, while the innertwo thirds has a poor blood sup-ply where healing almost never

occurs. In orthopedic surgerytextbooks, we call the outerone-third the red zone, and theinner two-thirds the white zone.

Whereas most fracturesand many ligament tears will

heal on their own, tears of themeniscus in the inner two-thirds have a very difficult timehealing back because of thepoor blood supply. Especially inpatients who have complex

tears, or tears that have multi-ple little tears in the region, pa-tients are often fighting a losingbattle as they wait for healing tooccur. Although we typicallytry a course of physical therapy

in patients with meniscus tearsbefore considering surgery, wealways advise patients that theymay feel less pain but meniscustears often remain. Further-more, these tears may get biggerover time, and may cause adja-cent cartilage damage with itsunstable or irregular torn sur-face.

The surgical treatment of meniscus tears is performedarthroscopically, or with mini-

mally invasive technique. Thetwo most common proceduresare repair and partial resection.

Meniscus transplanta-tions are performed in therare patients who meetthe strict criteria. Onlypatients who have tearsin the outer one third of the meniscus are candi-dates for a meniscal re-pair. In the nineties, theorthopedic communitytried repairs in the inner

two thirds with low successrates. The poor blood supply inthe inner two thirds meant that,despite a strong repair construct,the tear did not heal back. Sec-ond operations were oftenneeded, and there were a lot of grumpy patients.

There are different menis-cal repair techniques out there,but among the most common isthe suture technique. Wearthoscopically introduce a su-ture with tiny plastic hooks ontheir ends. The plastic hookscapture the capsule tissue be-hind the meniscus and the su-ture is then tied down to repairthe tear. Especially for tearsthat are 1 cm or less, the suturerepair technique has reliable

success rates. For larger tears,such as bucket handle tears, thesuccess rates drop and we aremore hesitant to do a repair inthese patients.

More commonly, pa-tients often have tears in theinner two thirds of the menis-cus, or the white zone. Thesepatients are treated with apartial resection. Using a mo-torized shaver, we resect outthe damaged meniscus tissue,while leaving the healthy rimcomponent. Its a fine bal-ancing act between trying topreserve as much meniscustissue as possible while creat-

ing a smooth remaining sur-face to prevent further menis-cus tears.

After surgery, we mini-mize the meniscus repair pa-tients from zero to 90 degreesof knee bending, 6 weeks aftersurgery. For the meniscuspartial resection patients, wedont have any strong restric-tions after surgery except toavoid going too wild. Someof my West Milford patientshave gone back to their con-struction jobs the day after orgone motorcycling that week-end. But the West Milfordpatients are a hearty bunchwith excellent genetics.

O ver time a pet that isroutinely using apatch of grass as hispersonal potty will damage

that stretch of lawn. The be-havior of canines plus thechemical components of the

urine contribute to the brown,dead patches synonymous withdog waste. But there are waysto mitigate the problem.

Dog urine and feces canoften be a frustrating problem,even to pet-lovers. The war be-

tween wanting a pristine lawnand a healthy pet can drive petowners to investigate ways toprevent or reduce marring of the lawn. Do those urban leg-ends like tomato juice or bak-ing soda work? In most cases,no, however, there are ways toreduce the amount of lawndamage with other methods.Dog waste chemistry

Understanding why urineand feces can affect your lawnrequires understanding themakeup of these waste prod-ucts. The fundamental prob-

lem involves the concentra-tion of nitrogen in the solidand liquid waste. Primarily indogs, the kidneys serve to re-move excess nitrogen from thedogs high-protein, meat-baseddiet. In small concentrations,nitrogen applied to a lawn canactually serve as a fertilizer helping the lawn to be greenand bright. But its the higherconcentrations that do themost damage.

can be rather unsightly.A few decades ago, Dr.

A.W. Allard, a Colorado vet-erinarian, examined numerousvariations in dog urine and theeffects on several commonlawn grasses. He found fescueto be the most nitrogen-resist-ant. Yet, even that grass has itssaturation point and canbrown.Who is the biggest offender?

Dog owners sometimesthink that female dogs havedifferent urine chemistry be-cause they tend to do the mostdamage to the lawn. The factis, both male and female dogs

can do damage, it just comesdown to the way urine is ap-plied. Male dogs oftentimesmark their territories or spraya small amount of urine to dif-ferent parts of the landscape.These small concentrationsmay not damage the lawnmuch. However, a female dogtends to squat and apply theurine in one spot at a highconcentration. That liquidseeps into the lawn and can dodamage. Male dogs that do notlift their legs and prefer tosquat can do the same level of damage as females.

Cats that use the out-doors instead of a litter box

may also create brown spots,particularly if they visit thesame spot over and over.

Fixing the problemApart from diluting the

urine, which can cause its ownissues, the best way to alleviatebrown spots is to walk the dogaround the neighborhood toother appropriate spots. Other-wise, a dog-only area can be setup in the yard. Then pet own-ers must train their dogs to usethat specific area. Laying downpea gravel or mulch can be away to absorb the urine with-out having it damage the lawn.Camouflage, like bushes or afence, can set the dog area

apart from the rest of the back-yard as well.

It can take up to twoweeks or more to train an olderdog to take to the new pottyarea. Puppies may adapt a lit-tle faster. Collecting urine andfeces and placing it in the dogsarea can help set up a scentmark that may make it easierfor dogs to learn thats wheretheyre supposed to go. For thetraining period, pet ownersshould accompany their dogsto the new area on a leash; donot leave the pet unattendedin the yard. He or she may re-vert back to the normal spotbeing used for relief.

With time and patience,pet-lovers can cohabitate withtheir pooches and still enjoy anice lawn. It just takes a littlecreative thinking and training

W ith so many peoplelooking for alterna-tives to costly holi-day fare, newspapers, magazinesand online cookingsites are overflowingwith great ideas. Butthe key to hosting asuccessful seasonalmeal is not simplyfinding interestingrecipes and purchasinglower-cost foods, butin creating and organ-izing a menu thatworks from start to finish. Theeasiest way to do that, make aplan and stick to it.

Share the cooking and thecost. Rising food costs andtighter budgets have promptedmany people to host potluckholiday dinners. As the host,you might prepare the maindish and have your guests fill inthe rest of the menu. Either askparticipants to contribute theirsignature salad, side dish ordessert, or plan a meal along aparticular theme and give guests

choices from among a list of menu items.

Simplify. There is no rulestating that holiday dinners

have to be fancy, so dont beafraid to plan a menu that hasfewer and less costly compo-nents. For example, serve ahearty and flavorful turkey stewor soup in place of a more ex-pensive roasted turkey. Pair itwith a simple salad and loavesof crusty bread, and then finishup with homemade apple cob-bler. Your guests will leavehappy and well nourished, andyou will have served up a flavor-ful and frugal holiday feast.Cook and freeze. Another op-

tion is to build your menuaround a few dishes that can beprepared ahead and frozen.Cooking ahead saves money by

spreading out food ex-penditures and avoidinglast-minute shopping,which often leads tospending more money.

Go meatless. Vege-tarian dishes can be farless expensive, espe-cially when feeding acrowd. Consider replac-ing the turkey or roast

with a pasta or risotto dish,roasted vegetable tart or veggielasagna. Great sources of vege-tarian recipes include vegk-itchen.com, epicurious.com,vegetariantimes.com, and all-recipes.com.

Go ethnic. While tradi-tion tends to rule at Thanksgiv-ing, Christmas and New Yearsmenus are wide open. Howabout a Mexican fiesta or anItalian feast? With a large pan of enchiladas or a big bowl of spaghetti and meatballs, its easy

to feed a crowd and stay onbudget.

Stick to homemade. As arule, anything you make athome will cost less and likely

tastes better than preparedfoods from the grocery store ora restaurant. If you stick withsimple recipes that dont requirean array of exotic ingredients,

your homemade holiday mealwill hit the spot and you wonthit the ceiling when you add upthe food bill.

You are probably won-dering, how is it possi-ble to determine mycost before I know whichschools my student will applyto or ultimately attend. Forthe most part, it does notmatter which school. Whatmatters is what you will be

expected to pay in the form of your Expected Family Contri-bution (EFC) and the pro-jected unmet need. Just asimportant, you need to knowyour familys ability to pay theEFC, which will be the ab-solute minimum out of pocketregardless of which school

your student attends. Sinceschools differ in the amountof aid they can provide, yourcost will definitely be yourEFC; and in most cases, someunmet need. How much

Need Based Aid you will beeligible for is determined bysubtracting your EFC from

the Cost of Attendance at theschool. Remember, your EFCremains constant. These ex-amples will illustrate thepoint.School A: Cost of Atten-dance $30,000 less EFC of $30,000 equals $0 Need.School B: Cost of Atten-

dance $40,000 less EFC of $30,000 equals $10,000 Need.Your need is what you are eli-gible for, not necessarily whatyou will receive.

Let me better explain.In the college planning andfinancial aid world, everyfamily will have an Expected

Family Contribution (EFC),based on financial aid formu-las. Be prepared, because thisnumber usually results inshock or tears of disbelief when families learn whattheir EFC will be. It is notworth arguing or debating

whether the formulas are cor-rect or fair. Parents oftenlaugh or panic when we tellthem their EFC and com-monly say, How do they ex-pect us to come up with thatkind of money?

The point is: you needto know your EFC, and real-

ize it will be the same regard-less of the school; so why waitto find out and further delayplanning. The only way topay less than your EFC is if your student goes to a schoolthat cost less than your EFC;for example, a communitycollege. Once you determineyour EFC, it is time to deter-

mine how you will pay thatamount, regardless of theschool. Need based aid ismeant to help cover your fi-nancial need, not your EFC.Therefore, you will pay yourEFC from either, savings, in-vestments, your income, or byborrowing. Many families donot have enough savings to

cover their EFC for the firstyear, let alone four or moreyears. Therefore, most fami-lies will be borrowing to covera portion of their EFC.

Once you determinehow much you are expectedto pay (your EFC and unmetneed), it is important to de-termine how much you can

pay, or more importantly howmuch you should pay. It iscrucial to determine howmuch you should pay earlyon, because if you dont, youcould paint yourself into acorner financially. Youshould know how much youmay have to borrow and whatthat means in monthly pay-

ments. If you have found itdifficult to set aside moneyeach month leading up to col-lege, what will change tomake money available tomake the monthly paymentson college loans? It is veryimportant to know the an-swer to this. If things are that
