[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like to give a more middle class perspective because I think it's important to see everyone's budget. I am a nurse, make 72k, and have 2 kids. Currently have no financial support from ex dh. I contribute 1200 a year per kid. So 100 a month per kiddo. It seems like peanuts comparatively but it's a sacrifice and something I am still proud of. Even if it's only a semester my kids will know that I saved their whole life for college. [/quote] This is excellent. They will likely also benefit from financial aid whereas the other poster's children will not.[/quote] +1. I have similar stats to PP. I make 84k with one kid and contribute 3k a year. It might cover a year of undergrad. I figure DC will qualify for some need and merit based aid that could fill much of the gap. If I made more, I would save to pay for 100%.[/quote]
