[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are saving some but hoping that our child will get scholarships, go to one of the service academies or pay as they go.  Possibility of free tuition due to one parents service connected disability. This area is over priced and full of rich people. Regular folks aren’t saving 500k per kid. [/quote]

This area is full of people who are willing to overspend on housing, travel, eating out and luxury items vs. college savings.  We are regular folks who have made under $175K (and that is recent) but we bought the cheapest house we could find, live way under our means and were able to do a prepaid and room/board and a year of graduate school in a 529.  Life is about choices.  Its very hard to go to a service academy and regular people cannot pay as they go.  You are just as tone death as many others.  OP cannot afford to save.  There is a huge difference from someone who cannot afford it and someone who made lifestyle choices that don't allow them to save.[/quote]
