[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You all are well off. Upper 10%. That means 90% who love their families can't do this.[/quote] Not true. I'm a super saver, great at planning and budgeting. Not well off yet, but my kid is also working while in college and we will be well off together. I know exactly where every dollar needs to go to make the most good. I try to double the pay as it comes in and then we spend it on important things.[/quote] Most people on DCUM seem to forget that kids can work to help with college. given the min wages in most ares (DCUM and other cities), most kids can earn $15/hour. That's $6-7K for a summer working only 40 hours (you can still babysit/find a 2nd job for the summer/weekends if needed). Add in 8-10 hours for the school year per week and xmas and spring break and a kid can earn $10K easily to help with college. [/quote]
