[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Posting again since I’m not sure where mine went. OP only mentions her salary.  It’s possible the exceptional limited funds are life insurance payout after death of the child’s other parent. Let’s not presume it’s a trust or gift and judge her. [/quote]

She said it is from family, that’s not insurance. She said it is family money, but not in a 529, which means it isn’t listed when they ask for money.

But yeah, I judge her since she refuses to say the amount. [/quote]

Wow. DP here but that's a really harsh position.

College costs way too much these days. [b]Surely OP can't be blamed for not wanting to spend her entire nest egg on high-priced colleges when there are less expensive opportunities.[/b]

Some posters are completely out of touch with the types of financial decisions that many parents have to make.

Absolutely. If you don’t spend your entire nest egg, don’t complain when you aren’t receiving $$. You are making a choice. You are choosing not to spend the money you have on your child’s education. Don’t expect everyone else to pay for it instead. Go to the school that you are WILLING to pay for. Get it? Expensive college is a luxury good. Pay for it or don’t pay for it. [/quote]
