[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can live like a king for $190k in NC. This is ridiculous.

So in the past few days Wake, Tufts, and Emory have all announced similar programs (I'm sure I'm missing others). There is probably a decent amount of overlap in applicants.

Meanwhile the donut holers get more and more depressed as they continue to get squeezed. No one is taking up a collection for them but they have historically been the backbone of so many of these schools. Now no one cares.[/quote]

No you can not.
That is absurd.

North Carolina is not cheap.[/quote]

Fine. If you are making $190k in NC (or most other places) you can afford to contribute something for your child's college education or you are doing something really wrong. If you can't it means there is either a very unique situation or you took out way too much of your own loans (not my fault) or you spent too much on your car and vacation and golf club membership and everything else that should have been saved for college.

When doing the math on this they should also be calculating an implied salary for a non-working spouse. I know that private K-12 schools often do this when calculating aid.

But again, they are welcome to do what they want to achieve the goals they want, so I guess it stinks to be me.[/quote]
