[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The overriding assumption here is that these costs can continue rising indefinitely and the system will carry on much as it has well into the future. I believe there is a decent chance that the current model will break down at some point. It's at least worth considering.[/quote] Sure hope so! My kid is still in utero, so we have 18 years to go before this becomes relevant. I'm not worried--yet. I do find it hard to believe that I, whose (public, in-state) college was paid for by parents, would even consider not fully funding my kids' undergrad education, but that might have to be the case. Life was cheaper when I was a teenager in the 90s. I hate to think of saddling my kids with student loans, but if a bachelor's degree at a state school costs, say, $50K/year 18 years from now, we won't be able to pay for it (and neither will many other parents).[/quote]
