[quote=Anonymous]It's also a good lesson for others (behavior modeling) but in setting expectations. When saying 70/30 or even 50/50, it's probably a better idea to say "I can cover 30% of the tuition of a state school." If the kid wants something more he/she might need to look at loans to cover the difference, if the other parent can't or won't cover the additional costs. We are still married (barely...sigh) but even our mutual plan addresses that. We plan to offer 100% of college costs...for a state school. If our kid wants an expensive out of state or private program, then the balance is not on our shoulders or conscience. [/quote]
