[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The real reason college is so expensive is because people keep paying whatever colleges ask them to pay[/quote]

Is this controversial? The laws of supply and demand have not been suspended. [/quote]

Judging from all the "OMGGGG COLLEGE IS SOOO EXPENSIVE" posts I think it is. And then they end up saving $300,000 per kid. What do they think was going to happen?[/quote]

the issue is, no one is going to sacrifice the well being of their own kid for the "greater good"[/quote]

Right.  I agree, previous PP, that people should refuse to pay such rates for college.  You first.  [/quote]

NP. Well, you might say that we're doing this. We're not willing to pay more than in-state public rates for any school. And we can afford full private tuition, although it would mean that early retirement is less plausible. We certainly wouldn't qualify for aid.

But it's just not worth it, in our opinion. And we have degrees from top 10 schools. [/quote]

So you both went to top 10 schools, but are unwilling to pay for your kids to do the same, because it might impact your ability to retire early.

Lovely.  [/quote]
