Last week, I experienced a moment that really scared me. I met John’s son, who is my friend. He is in the 9th grade. A smart, confident boy who always has a cell phone with him. As a finance expert who works with students a lot, I naturally asked him a few easy arithmetic questions….

Most individuals don’t know how education deductions really work. They think that if they spend money on studying, they may deduct it from their taxes.
