[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With as shitty as the economy is, I am almost positive that this is the next bubble to burst.  There is no way in hell an average family can save this kind of cash with all the other drains on budgets.  And then to ask our kids to start life $200K in debt for a fucking STATE school?  Hell, no.  It just isn't possible.[/quote]

This is not about the average family. It is about the economic, social, and cultural elite, and about whether you want your children to be part of that. Now, maybe you are happy for your children to be in the underclass, scavenging through the trash for a bite to eat, or selling their bodies - their final financial recourse - to pay for the rent on their mobile home. But my 529 - fully funded at $1200/month - is buying my kids a one-way ticket to the very top, where they will parade around in furs.[/quote]

I'm pretty sure this is sarcasm, bit you just proved my point.  Only the elite will be able to be college educated if we keep going this way.  But, most people are now on their own for retirement, and health care expenses become more and more ridiculous, etc., etc.  Seriously, ONLY the elite will be able to "have it all" - and what happens to the masses then?  This is such an ugly scenario to even ponder, but seriously, this is the way we are headed.  It's sad.[/quote]

People should do everything they can to be part of the elite.[/quote]
