[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are being an idiot.
First of all the bill will be at least 100k by the time your kid gets to college.
Second of all, when your kid earns a spot to one of the top universities in the country all on his own you’re not going to turn around and send him to state school. 
Stop the stupid grandstanding. [/quote]

Um.  Plenty of people do. My daughter was accepted into two Ivys.  She turned them both down for University of Florida.  She graduated three years ago. Has a job making just under 100,000 a year.  And ZERO student loan debt.  I would say she is in much better shape than most young adults. [/quote]

But it would have been better for her to have graduated from one of those ivies with no debt (which you should have been saving for her from day 1). You can't deny that.[/quote]

I absolutely deny it.  Her college would have been fully funded either way.  We tried to talk her into choosing an Ivy.  In hindsight, it probably would have been a bad decision. I’m not against Ivy schools at all. But to suggest kids never turn them down for reasons other than financial is silly. [/quote]

You said that she would have been saddled with college loans. You turned the screws - admit it.
We’re you going through a divorce and couldn’t agree? One of my best buddies from good old State U didn’t receive parental funding for Stanford because of acdivorce and he was resentful as hell. [/quote]

I don’t blame him. He beat out a lot of people for that spot. Hurts to lose it because dad decided to spend the money on his new family instead. [/quote]

Sock puppet much?[/quote]

Nope,  21:39 was my first post in the thread. [/quote]
