[quote=Anonymous]Love that this is an anonymous forum.

We will be paying for our kids college. We will have about $150k in a 529, but our income level will afford us to pay for it. I am reading so much on CC and DCUM and relay all of the headache to DH who gets frustrated with me that I don't seem to "get it" and where we are financially (I grew up poor.) Even tho I am always looking for a sale and get a high off of getting a deal, I do understand it now. DH deals with the finances, and  he had to show me that we now *choose* to pay $30k+ a year in tithes to our church, with a lot left over for charities and spending...we will be more than able to pay $70K for school in 5 years.

DH has stressed that the goal of my "research" on these sites will be to help our A-B honors kids get INTO college, not get a deal. We have investments, salary,  savings, etc to afford a $70k+ college a year.

Both DH and I went to public state schools. His parents got loans to pay and he worked during the summer. I was lower-class, so relied on grants and workstudy to afford school. We both have MS degrees, so 11 years of college between us. Our kids are blessed to be 100x more financially fortunate than we were.
