Preferred College Funding Durham

My wife and I came into the college financial planning process very late in the game. Life happens so fast and then your children are in college. Fredrick Hicks has been a vital resource in a very stressful time. He has done a stellar job in walking us through this financial process giving us guidance along the way. Fredrick has helped us come up with several plans that have fit into our comfort level. He is a natural born teacher and he has been great to work with. We are just beginning this journey of paying for college. I am so glad Fredrick is with us. Highly recommend!

We attended the Free Workshop for College Funding with Mr. Hicks to learn about our options for college planning. Our son will be graduating high school in 2020, and we wanted to be sure we are prepared for the growing costs of college. Mr. Hicks explained the importance of preparing early, the importance of filling out the information correctly and meeting Federal, State and College deadlines. We signed up immediately to meet with Mr. Hicks for our college planning consultation. He was very patient with us, and made us feel secure in our financial preparedness for sending our son to college. Thank you!

Fredrick is the epitome of professionalism and dedication to his field. With his expertise, I was able to not only get my child into the school of their choice, but neither of us are burdened with enormous loans that would take years to pay off, nor was my 401k impacted. I highly recommend Fredrick and will continue to use him for my retirement and financial goals.

Mr. Hicks is a very knowledgeable financial advisor. He's been my trusted advisor for 5-yrs now. I would recommend him to anyone needing help with any financial matters for their family.

We all have our beliefs, thoughts, etc. regarding money and debt. In my case, I had a specific plan, but it was a plan too rigid to allow for anything else. While we have some money saved up for college, it wasn’t enough to pay for 4 years, maybe even 5. I agonized where this money is going to come from without having to eat rice and beans and possibly ramen noodles for the next 1,460 days until our son graduates college. You know the feeling... After sitting down with Fredrick to discuss our college planning process, discussing salary, retirement, debt, interest, that stinking interest, etc. and being honest about it, we found ways to pay for school and more important, ways to continue to pay for the education without sacrificing our lifestyle. Yes, some include, cutting back on expenses, but it also included the freedom to allow you to break free from the traditional ways of how money is supposed to work. I’ll be implementing these new options, and I know it’ll be successful for me and family, not just during the college years, but for the future as well. I could write so much more, but if you’re reading this review and you’re curious of how it can happen for you, go to a college funding seminar and make an appt with Fredrick Hicks. “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest” - Benjamin Franklin
