[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. Reading this thread I feel very poor. We are just hoping we can afford a good state school. Not sure we will be able. Our HHI is not anywhere close to the ones I see posted here.[/quote]

Don't panic.  I'm 10:48.  Our issue is that our HHI was not always $500k.  We just got there within the last 5 yrs.  but our kids were born 20 yrs ago.  Back then we had a combined income of $30k.  We could barely afford rent and food.  Saving for college was not even on the radar screen.  Neither was saving for retirement.  So now, we make a lot of money and so we have to pay out of pocket for college and the kids really don't have college funds.  We just write the check 2x per year.  We are busily trying to out away for retirement because someday we would like to stop working.  My choice is retirement or an expensive school.  If any of my kids got into Harvard, I would find a way.  But like I said, the one that's already in college was a solid B student. If your a B student in high school, you can go B student school.

Our next youngest has LD and has not done well in HS.  He's a C student on a good day and by the grace of his teachers.  He's off to community college because that's what's best for him.  I suppose that there is probably some 4 yr LD college that will cost me $60k but I don't see the point.  [/quote]
Good for you! Out of curiosity, what do you and DH do to make that kind of income jump in 20 years?[/quote]
