[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree that the cost-benefit proposition for 99% of private schools isn't there.  OP, if you are in VA, your child can absolutely get into the top med/law schools from UVA and all of the top employers recruit there otherwise.  If your child is STEM focused, VA Tech is a great school.  I don't know enough about UMD, but I do hear it's getting more competitive.

We plan to also fund enough for 4 years at in-state schools.  If we can pay for more out of pocket when the time comes and we think it's worth it, we will.  But I'm not planning on it.[/quote]

I plan on cutting the last funding check for our kid after the first of the year.  4YO and we will have $125K in the account - by my math we should end with +/- $300K at 6 or 7% growth - may or may not be enough but it is way too hard to look that far into the future.  [/quote]

well, whoopee do.  How do your immense riches help the OP?  DId you do that on a salary of $165k?[/quote]

Um, OP already has enough in both accounts to pay for 4 years at a public school.  I think we're saying "Good Job OP, you've done enough to get your kids off on the right foot."  [/quote]
