[quote=Anonymous]HHI 180K. I quit my low paying teaching job to take care of elderly parent while our first kid was in HS. She had stats to possibly get into Georgetown, Notre Dame or Vanderbilt, but knew we wouldn’t be able to afford them. She applied ED to to UVA and was accepted. The tuition is still steep for us, but we have been saving for years. FAFSA said we were full pay. Also, no fancy vacations, 2007 and 2004 cars, and kids went to, what many here call, a terrible high school, in a lower cost of living area. We prioritized saving what we could for college. Our second kid has been accepted to an SEC school, that has a great program for her major, and they matched in-state tuition. It can be done, you just have to stop keeping up with the Joneses.
