[quote=Anonymous]I'm bumping this, because I'm interested in what more families are doing. College is sooo expensive compared to when my parents paid for mine, so I don't know what the best strategy it. Our income it too high to get any financial aid. I've saved in 529's and can pay about $35k/year toward college (basically full costs at in state university). And I push my kids to get the best grades they can, because I know it can mean $5k-$15k merit aid per year). I want them to have "skin in the game", but honestly my Junior's $12/hr part-time job will not even make a dent in tuition. So, do I just have her work for spending money? Any good plans to share?[/quote]
