[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You actually don’t need any advice. Not your kid, not your finances. Stay out of it. [/quote]

It’s our family. And my husband and I have degrees from four universities and far more resources and even we wouldn’t do something so financially reckless. It feels like they are being swindled and are too caught up in making sure she plays a sport in college. I don’t want to see this wreck their finances, their marriage, put my niece in a mountain of debt, and make it so my niece ends up transferring colleges because she only went to the obscure private for a sport.[/quote]

You really have no idea if they are being financially reckless. Maybe they are but maybe not, depends on where the cost ends up coming out. If you actually want to be helpful vs. judgmental, you might share the book "The Price You Pay For College." Read it yourself (assuming you have younger kids and you want to understand how things have changed) and then pass it along to them.[/quote]
