How much would you have to make to be comfortable spending $40,000 on a college consultant?

What’s the name of the firm?

That's more than we are paying per year for tuition. You don't need a consultant.

Yes, a ridiculous sum, but I consider it a luxury purchase for my benefit— to improve my own mental and emotional health by having a third party be the one to keep my kid and spouse on track instead of me badgering them. I know a lot of the information and could give the same advice, but the kid and spouse don’t believe it when I say things, but will listen when same things coming from the hired counselor. I don’t care for luxury cars, designer fashions, beauty treatments etc etc, but this is a luxury splurge for ME, not for the kid. And worth every penny in terms of relieving mental and emotional load.

We did pay a well respected counselor by the hour to review my kids list, do some schedule checks, and a bit of essay brainstorming. Maybe $1500 total for about 4 hours of work. It was money well spent on family harmony.

This is ridiculous. I charged $100 an hour for this 20 years ago. A 5k to the highest at 10k for a package is more than enough to pay.
