[quote=Anonymous]So I'm not really buying that this is as easy as they're making it out to be, even for the "very affluent" families. They're making the assumption that you have significant cash on hand, plus a valuable investment portfolio, if you're in the very affluent category. If you have, as they assume, $150K in liquid cash and an investment portfolio worth $1.1 million (that you could presumably liquidate in part without a huge amount of trouble), then you can technically afford to pay full freight for a 4-year college ($280K). However, it would take a big chunk out of your investment portfolio and eat up all of your cash on hand. I guess I'm not seeing how that would be merely "decidedly unpleasant." Seems like it would be downright painful, especially as you try to recover from that hit and save for retirement. [/quote]
