As more kids head back to class, a new survey shows some families saw silver linings to virtual learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, including saving money as a result of having their kids study at home. Humans do a pretty amazing job at adapting. Teachers, students, administrators, and parents have taken a very tough situation in stride.
Allie Johnson, a writer at Bankrate.com reached out to me about contributing to a piece she was doing in response to the survey. As a father, husband, and business owner I was happy to give my thoughts. As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, I was also able to add a unique perspective to her article. The article is titled Families Get Crash Course in Remote Learning and is up on the Bankrate website.
You can check out the full article by clicking here. I would love to hear about your experiences. Has it been easier than you thought? Harder? Have you saved money in odd ways? Did you end up spending more than you hoped? Would love to hear about it in the comments.
Get Clear. Be Clear.
