[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our income is in that range (~$180k)and we can afford it (the FAFSA of $60-$70k). It isn't supposed to come out of your cash flow for the year. It is an expected expense since deciding to have children. Almost two decades should be enough time to save for it. [/quote] For our two kids we have not been able to save $500K+ over the past two decades, given other obligations (retirement, mortgage, etc.). Our HHI is $200K but was half that at the beginning. I imagine we are in the majority. Kudos to you for pulling it off, but I think you are the exception.[/quote] Think about it people. To "pull it off" you have to save for two decades for a four year stint. There's something wrong with that. It should not be that way. Discourse and expectations have to change if we are going to bend and actually lower the cost curve. [/quote]
