She's turning 18 this month, and I'm worried about her. She's good with money, has a job and saves every penny. I went deep into debt putting myself through school, and I don't want her to go through what I did. What financial advice can I give her?
Get a time machine, go back in time 18 years, and open a private fund for her.

Educate her on the fafsa, pell grant, scholarships, and grants. Tell her to do the first two years at a community college because it's usually only like $1000-2500 per semester which is covered by the pell grant if you're as poor as you make yourself out to be.
