[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can afford college.  What you can't afford is 2 in private school, 1 in Ivy, extravagant vacations, luxury cars, expensive mortgage, keeping up with the Joneses and Goldbergs.  On $250K HHI, it can work.  It may take some belt-tightening and school adjustment, but it can work.  Ask not what financial aid will be provided, instead ask what can we do at home to make it work.[/quote]

Um, OP didn't ask whether she could "afford college", she asked whether she could afford an Ivy. She specifically said she wasn't committed to the whole Ivy route, so there's no reason to suggest she pull her other kids out of private school or trade down on housing. Also, it's not obvious why you're accusing her of taking extravagant vacations. Her post shows she's aware her kid can get a great education at a SLAC that's willing to give him money. If you're one of the people who thinks that Ivies are the only worthwhile education, you should chill and take a leaf from OP's book. [/quote]
