[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This question is really for donut hole families.  People that make over 200,000 a year but less than 300,000.  Have some saved for college but not nearly enough.

IMO, if you cannot "easily pay the $90K", then it's not worth it.  Don't mess with your retirement to pay for college.  There are hundreds of great schools that will be affordable (thru merit or simply lower overall prices).  Find the best ones of those for your kid

Np. My kid hasn’t applied yet but I just ran a NPC for a private school my kid is interested in, and despite my having an older dc in college and living in a high COL location, apparently these schools think I should spend 65% of my take home pay on their tuition. So ridiculous. [/quote]
Then the $90k schools are not worth it for you.[/quote]

That is so very profound, thanks for posting your wisdom.

But I think this is meant to be a larger comment about the expense of education in the US. [/quote]
But the thread is what schools are truly worth 90k to you. [/quote]

And someone who doesn't have that money saved and cannot easily "cash flow" it most likely should not be spending it on college for 4 years.  And yes, IMO, if it takes 65% of your take-home to fund college, that college is too expensive for most people.  Especially when there are literally 95% of the rest of colleges that can be affordable and many excellent choices.
