TAXES!!!! This is not 80k/ year extra.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s insane that our $250K family did not get 1 penny FA for a $60K/year school.

We were also not always $250K family, we were closer to $160/year, then $180K for a few years. Plus the $250 includes one of us having 2 jobs.

My H is a cop and I was a GS-13 most our lives so we could not really save that much.[/quote]

Well if you still lived as if you earned $160K/year, you could cash flow the $80K/year with the extra.  You could have chosen to save the increases in income for college (or at least part of it).  [/quote][/quote]

Ok, so $40K/year.  Point is you made choices with the extra income. Whatever is right for your family.  However, you were living on $160K.  So you could have saved $10K/year, then $20K/year then up to $40K/year.  What you do with it is your choice, but it does not entitle you to a free education at a T20 school. [/quote]

Great so I make 160 to 250 happened over 6 years. That is $60K for 2 kids.
