The humble brags on this thread are annoying. Good for you if you are lucky enough to pay $75K for less than 9 months of college for your kid. That's nice for you, but it does not address the problem that most people cannot begin to afford $280K for a four-year college degree, and double or triple that if you've got multiple college-bound kids.

What you should realize is that even those who can be full pay (and there are many, check a college's CDS) are sensitive to your plight.  Hence the "humble" in their statement of facts.  The system needs to change, and probably will; until then, don't blame those in different circumstances, whether they me more fortunate or less.  It's not their fault.[/quote]

I also think we would not even comment if it weren't for those who say it is NOT WORTH IT.  As I keep saying, it is worth it to under certain circumstances...especially if a top 20 school.  It is unfortunate that access is not there for everyone, but we all have to do the best we can.  My kids will both be full pay in a school with no merit because of our financial situation.  My situation as a high school senior was VERY different, and I feel blessed to be able to give this to my kids.[/quote]
