Bob Burakiewicz
Certified Pay-for-College Specialist & Certified College Debt Specialist
When I was young, I received a chessboard as a present. No one in my family knew how to play. There was no internet to search. All these pieces and I had no clue. Do you feel like that when it comes to paying for college?
You need to know how the board is designed, what the rules are, and who the players are.
Most important you need a winning strategy. You don’t need to be a chess master, but you do need someone to hold your hand throughout the college years and beyond. You need someone who knows how the game is played.
Bob and his team believe in eliminating the stress and anxiety when it comes to paying for college. You do not want to make a $250,000 mistake that will impact the rest of your financial future. The system we use is educational in nature designed to help individuals and families understand the critical steps of paying for college. The system takes a “begin with the end in mind” approach. This is the basis for smart, effective, and efficient planning.
The solution to building a customized pay for college strategy successfully is not from a financial product, a rate of return, a single strategy, or a financial plan. It is a complete economic process that requires five key elements:
- Knowing the impact of a 20% gifting school and a 90% gifting school
- Lowering your Expected Family Contribution by becoming FAFSA friendly
- Accessing Micro-Scholarships as early as the 9th grade
- Not being part of the $1.8 trillion dollars in student debt
- Tools and ideas for the student to be career-ready
Responsible College Advocates has been doing this for over 15 years, helping thousands of families.

Bob Burakiewicz as your Pay-for-College & College Debt Professional Ally
Our motto, Change the Landscape of America One Family at a Time, is not something that we take lightly. Nor is it something we are arrogant enough to believe we can do alone. We aim to embody the meaning of a Community Resource and in doing so, we consequently wish to engage likeminded people and businesses in our local community. You see, to make a change on a national level, it must start in your backyard. There is a plethora of information that we are trusted with throughout our Pay-for-College and College Debt information gathering process. Due to this, we recognize the areas that a family or a young person may still need assistance with, but it is something that we do not specialize in (i.e. mortgage refinance, home & auto insurance, realty, portfolio management, etc.). Where we are more than capable of having a competent conversation with our clients, we need to ensure that their whole ‘team’ is filled with professionals that have similarly goal-planning mentalities. If you believe that you fit this mold and are interested in having conversation to exactly how we can work together, I encourage you to reach out! Let’s Change the Landscape of America, One Family at a Time.
