[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of us got into the financial position to be in the donut hole by doing "everything right"  being top students all through school, getting into a highly selective college, graduating, working for years to move up the corporate ladder, saving for college every month since our kids got out of daycare, provide the enrichment/tutoring/house in a top school district that allowed our kids to do well enough to get into a top college.  But now we can't afford to send them to the top college on the level that we attended.

I know, cry me a river.  It's such a deeply privileged sob story.  [/quote]

This.  My college was expensive at about $100K for 4 years.  To send my kid there now, it's $400K.  [/quote]

You are not the sharpest tool if you send your kid to a school that costs 100k/yr. This is like buying a Birkin bag and complaining how expensive handbags are these days. [/quote]

I agree, only idiots send their kids to Stanford [/quote]

Well they are idiots if they can't afford Stanford.  Taking out $200K in loans for an undergrad degree is not smart, no matter where it is.  Someone smart enough to get into Stanford should understand that[/quote]
