[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Um, in-state is off the table if you’re a DC resident. It’s a myth that you get in-state rates https://www.thecollegefundingcoach.org/the-myth-of-the-d-c-resident-paying-in-state-tuition/

Aside from that, we are saving $20/month for each child in their 529 account. I’m sure most people here will laugh, but it’s what we can afford and it’s better than nothing. 
They are in elementary school and have $23k a piece due to a hefty starting gift from a grandparent.

[b]We will hope our child qualifies for financial aid due to our HHI being below $70k.[/b] Beyond that I have no idea what we will do to make up the rest. I guess just be real clear with the children that they need to major in a field with a clear job track and marketable skills to pay back loans. No one will be permitted to major in literature or history unless they plan on pursuing a PHD. Will also push community college or technical training/ vocational school.

If they’ve got the stats for Ivies or equivalent, they’ll go to school for free...
