[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s like anything else you buy in life. Is that house, new phone, car, TV, purse, lessons, etc worth it? 
It all depends on what you can easily afford.

Nobody needs most of the stuff they own, tbh.

Same logic for college. How do you define worth it? Dollar for dollar ROI? Then no, none of them are worth it. But then neither is a car that can do more than drive or anything more than a few outfits or a simple $2 bag that can hold things  instead of a fancy purse.

The key is to live within your means. You don’t need an expensive college to end up making a decent salary. However future salary isn’t the only value from college just like getting from A to B isn’t the only value from a car or “holding things” isn’t the only value from a purse.

You have to decide for you what is worth it. Crowd sourcing that will give you the full range of opinions as it should.

Very well said. [/quote]

Adding my answer, we’re paying that for a T15 in a field that doesn’t need connections per se. I do think they are having a superior experience than our flagship could provide in terms of personal growth. They’ve met the most incredible people from all over, found a partner that is similarly driven that will likely go the distance, but if not, has set a high bar. For us, it’s all worth it. I’d prefer to spend my moment on that than handbags. I value education, travel, having a nice home and furnishings, but don’t care about other luxury goods. [/quote]
I think this post says it well. A $90k college is a luxury good. Some rich people spend their money on luxury goods, others don’t, and still others pick and choose (travel but not handbags, college but not sports cars). If you don’t see the value of a $90k school, then it isn’t worth it to you and you shouldn’t spend $90k on college. [/quote]
