[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the most singularly stupid post I’ve ever read on so many levels. Who cares about your anecdote. A life time of college debt is debilitating. [/quote]

???  If parents are full-pay then their kids don't have debt.  That's the whole thing.  There is a whole set of us who are fully paying our kids college expenses.  You're seeing $70k.  I hate to break it to you but that's not the whole cost.  I'm seeing at least $100k a year per kid by the time I add in travel (the kid's travel plus our travel to visit the kid), a car and then annual expenses, books, spending money, clothing expenses, greek expenses if the kid is in a sorority or fraternity, etc.

If you're paying your own way then you need to make more frugal choices.  If your parents are paying then you make your choices based on their directives.

No kid in our family has a lifetime of college debt and they are fortunate enough to be able to attend the college of their choice because their father and I worked hard to make sure that would be their option.  Is that the experience for every college student?  No.  But it is the experience for the college experience for the kids in our family.[/quote]
