[quote=Anonymous]We did not pay for our kids to attend college. We told them they had to get scholarships or go to community college and work part time to cover it. We do not live a lavish lifestyle, but we have always been savers and had enough to cover in state for both kids. It turns out they didn't need it. They were both RA's (free room and board) and had on campus jobs, they both got several scholarships (the little ones add up) and were very resourceful to get the money they needed. My son who majored in computer science at GA Tech had his entire junior and senior year covered after a summer job at CSX (the train company) turned into a permanent job offer with full benefits and tuition reimbursement. It's shocking what you can do when you think you have to. I will add that we did end up giving them both pretty large financial gifts upon graduation. [/quote]
