"Latest student aid? Kindness from Strangers – Online loans supplement more traditional sources"

It used to be credit cards, home equity loans and retirement accounts were last resorts for parents paying for their children's college tuition. Now, tapping into home equity, raiding a 401(k), maxing out Visas and MasterCards, and - the latest craze - borrowing online from strangers, have become more attractive as private student loans have gotten increasingly difficult and more expensive to get. The article quotes Karen Busanovich as she discusses the possible risks and misconceptions students and parents can encounter as they scramble to find other options to pay tuition.
Excerpt: Financial aid analysts warn that doing things such as borrowing from 401(k)s or charging credit cards could put parents in a financial bind. "With all the uncertainty in the economy and the job market, the wrong move could cause the parent to lose their home or pay hefty fees," said Karen Busanovich, a Woburn financial planner who specializes in student loans. Busanovich said parents and students rarely explore one important alternative to private student loans - one that can ease the financial burden of college tuition. "It doesn't have to be a $40,000-a-year school," she said. "There are good schools that cost less than private”.
