[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t get why the author didn’t save a realistic amount of money for college. It’s about priorities.[/quote] Do you understand that many families work to pay their bills and that’s it. I don’t have enough money to pay my bills some months so there won’t Ben any college savings. Not everyone is living beyond their means.[/quote] I do and I have sympathy for that. Her tone suggests to me that was not the case. She seems surprised that college costs money and that the $14,000 she saved isn’t going to do it. We saved from the time our kids were little. It was mostly small amounts (and a small direct deposit from one of our paychecks). We put all of those random checks you get (rebates, refunds, gifts from grandparents, and our tax refunds) into the 529. It grew over time. I think $14,000 for a donut hole family suggests they did not really try.[/quote]
