[quote=Anonymous]We are over $250k but only recently and before that had childcare costs and our own student loans. Our goal is for our kids to graduate without loans and we are budgeting pretty tightly just for state schools since we got a late start. We do a lot of things mentioned here- drive old cars, live in our first house, limit meals out, etc. But honestly some of the posts in these threads are extreme. People claiming they NEVER take a vacation or eat out or buy a decent pair of shoes. WTH? Is a private school so much better that you never treat yourself? not so much on this threads but there are others that make the sacrifices seen SO great just to send a kid to a private school where most kids won't think twice about $. I had 2 friends in college whose parents mortgaged homes and businesses to send them. The stress was immense- one dropped out; the other developed a drug problem. Both moved far from their parents. How about some balance? [/quote]
