[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. We had to pay almost full private university tuition, except for a tiny Pell grant that was maybe $3000. Current price is almost $80,000/year. Parents = public school teacher + nurse. [/quote] Your income is low enough to qualify for a Pell grant and you were able to pay the remaining $77K?[/quote] Does not compute Plus if you only make $140-150K (my guess for teacher and nurse), why the hell would you pay $80K for college per year unless you somehow had it saved? There is no need to do that to yourself. It's a choice you made because you are obsessed with "elite" schools and it's a choice you will have to live with financially for many years to come. But don't kid yourself, it did not have to happen and your kid could attend a great school for much more affordable. [/quote]
