[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey now - I stayed home, my family benefitted, and society benefitted because I have volunteered a lot.  I think my [b]wife [/b]and my acting and working as a team has been a great role model for our kids.  And no, we could not afford to send them to the most expensive schools and I don’t think that has hurt them at all.  At the end of the day they will end up in excellent grad schools, they will be debt free, we will have retirement savings and none of us are on anxiety meds freaked out by professional or financial anxiety.    I’d say to give all of that up to send our kids to expensive schools we cannot afford would make us suckers. [/quote]

I think until you can switch the genders as I did in the sentence above ...

But back to the OPs question, when a school doesn’t offer merit, you are either full-pay or getting aid - if you don’t want the spot, there are plenty of others that do.  Now when the school is lower ranked and you are full pay you might questions if it’s worth it to pay that type of money without the prestige but if you have the type of money where it doesn’t make a difference, who is really winning.  It’s like when I watch that young 30’s couple on house hunter International spending more on their vacation home than I do for someplace I live year round. I half jokingly wonder where I went wrong with my career.[/quote]
