[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unreal!  I have 4 kids with HHI of 180K, and we are living just fine.  People on this forum are unrealistic.  [/quote]

What are your plans for paying for college?  Do you live in DC or close in suburbs?  [/quote]
Not to derail completely, but why does everyone on DCUM think that their snowflakes are entitled to a completely parent financed college education?  This was the exception and not the rule when I was in school and most of us worked part-time or had odd jobs around campus to help pay for expenses.  Not knocking it, but not every kid is college material either so just curious why everybody seems to think that it's mandatory to be able to pay for a full 4-5 years of private school living on campus.[/quote]

Probably because it is so expensive. It is estimated to cost ~100k a year when my 3 yo is 18. Even if you paid for half and the kid covered the rest in student loans, that would be a crippling debt load to start out with in life. Do you want your kid to be 200k or more in the hole at age 22?[/quote]
