[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Throughout your life as a parent, you made choices about your spending that didn't include planning to have the money for the level of higher education you want your child to have.  I'm sure you could have found a less expensive house, taken less expensive vacations, bought food at cheaper grocery stores, spent less on activities and the like.  But you didn't.

And now that you are faced with the decision as to how to spend the money you have, which does include enough to pay for the level of education you want to give your child, you do not want to give that level of education to your child.

The only person you should be disappointed in is yourself.  You could have but chose not to.  [/quote]

YES!!! The problem is the OP has eaten too much avocado toast. It can't possibly be that the system is broken, tuition has increased nearly 180% since her child was born, the federal and state governments have cut funding, and schools have complex shady systems that claims most people don't pay the sticker price, except maybe you-- sucker!

The problem is parents who think affording private education is an entitlement.[/quote]

There are still plenty of affordable choices for college, most of them excellent schools.  Literally most outside of the T25-30.  Most of the private schools give decent merit, if your kid truly was competitive for a T20 school.  So focus your energies on finding the right fit for your kid in both targets and safeties and most importantly include that they must be affordable for your family.  
You don't have to go into massive debt to obtain a great education at a 4 year college.
