[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How are all of you planning or having 4+ kids affording college?

Are you just ok with your kids taking on a lot of debt and starting their adult lives behind debt free kids??[/quote]

We are on dcum so I imagine a lot of families earn a higher income and prioritize education. I have 4 and we made saving for college a priority. I do my own cooking and cleaning, we rarely travel internationally as a family and we live off of one (my DHs) salary and put my entire salary towards saving. It’s true that you have less money for luxury goods and travel with 4 kids but if both parents are earning decent money and are willing to budget, saving for college is not impossible. I will say, we’ve set aside a specific amount so that each child could likely do 4 years out of state or private or 4 years in state and also get help with grad school. We are not planning on fully funding phds for all 4 kids. [/quote]

+1. We saved and grandparents contributed money to the grandkids’s college accounts. [/quote]
