[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ivies & other top schools do not offer merit based aid, because it's so competitive already..
 everyone who goes there is smart!

Your child isn't going to get need based aid because you probably earn too much, OP.

Now what of your big plan?

Are you gonna saddle her with upwards of $100,000 in debt, that will follow her for the rest of her life?

Do car payments saddle people for life? I see $50k cars whipping past all day long. They could get a perfectly serviceable car for $5k but they don’t. I had student loans. Paid them off in ten years. Wasn’t a big deal and wouldn’t trade my experience. I get that debt should be accumulated with great caution but people treat their debts differently. Omigod college debt is the devil then click on Amazon and buy $100 of junk. [/quote]
You do know that some people don’t have car payments right? I am not from a wealthy background and have had a license for 15+ years and have never had a car payment. Like you can just pay for a car cash. Also if you lease a car there’s no debt with that either right? And btw it’s much, much easier to get out of consumer debt than for student loans (which are not dischargeable in bankruptcy). [/quote]
