[quote=Anonymous]I agree that it is doable. But not if you earn a middle class income and spend it on private school, a big house, fancy vacations every year, a luxury vehicle, travel sports, designer clothes, etc. I am a single parent (professional) who raised my kid in a condo, chosen because of its proximity to good public schools. I saved as much as I could when she was growing (which started VERY low), and continued saving generously when she was in college. She chose a lower tier private that gave her a merit scholarship that cut the price in half. She worked during the summers and won a few more modest scholarships in college that enabled her to graduate with no loans. I am proud of her and myself. You have to have priorities people. A college education is expensive, and as others have said, you saw this coming for a long time. [/quote]
