Smart Money Experts: Is College Still Worth The Cost?

It's widely acknowledged that college graduates earn more than non-graduates, but given the ever-increasing cost of higher education, is it still worth the investment? Up To Date's Smart Money Experts weigh in. Also, an update on recent financial headlines. 

Guests:

  • Lucas Bucl is a principal with KHC Wealth Management.
  • Sandi Weaver is a CPA and owner of Financial Security Advisors.
  • Barbara McMahon is president of Innovest Financial Partners in Brookside.
  • Jeremy Hegle is a senior community development adviser for the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City.
When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers. Reach me at steve@kcur.org or on Twitter @stevekraske.
Kansas City needs journalists who show up not just on people’s worst days, but on their best ones — and the boring ones in between. I build relationships across the metro, so our newsroom can bring you critical information when times are tough, and seek out moments of joy to celebrate. Email me at lisa@kcur.org.
