[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What assets are you assuming? We don’t qualify for any at $125k per year due to a six figure inheritance, some of which went directly to our kids and hence counts as 25% per year instead of 5.64%. After college, we all have nothing left but we’re full pay.[/quote]
This is us. While I'd like to complain, I can't. Life is not fair.

It's just one more reason we wish had our gone-too-soon parents back and they could've spent that [i]lifetime[/i] of savings [i]on themselves[/i] rather than on four years for their grandchild (when none of them went to college themselves and only two even had high school diplomas).

Without adding too much more to the rinse-repeat conversation, just a reminder that the OP titled this thread with [b]top private colleges[/b]. To those who say (or imply) settle for in-state...that's an entirely different premise. Ultimately, I disagree with the OP. I sincerely believe the top private colleges are still, and mostly, for the rich, either through ability to full- or significantly-pay without pain or having the on-going resources to develop a child capable of entry to said colleges.[/quote]
