Rich?  not close.  Rich seems like private airplanes and servants.[/quote]

I think part of never getting to rich is that it will cost me more than $1 million to put my 4 kids through 4 years of college.  Absolutely ridiculous.  College costs in America have to change.[/quote]

where the heck is it that little in the future? Today plenty of colleges are charging 70K a year. With inflation for kids not yet in HS you are looking at 100K a year for kids. With four kids the cost is 1.6 million assuming no grad school.  BTW this is [b]Amherst College[/b] cost as of TODAY. The prices are crazy and this is not even ivy league

For 2018-19, the typical student expense budget includes:

Comprehensive fee (tuition, room and board): $70,260
Other student fees (student activities, campus center programs and residential governance): $906
Health insurance* (may be waived): $1,938
Tuition insurance (may be waived): $81 (per semester) ***
Books and supplies (estimated): $1,000
Personal expenses (estimated): $1,800
Travel/Transportation** (estimated; varies by location): $50-$2,500
Cost of attendance: $75,954–78,566[/quote]

The most prestigious schools were always going to be expensive  :roll:. You can go to a state school and get a degree for $30,000. Yes. 30k. For 4 years.

Or you know, not go to college at all. I doubt your elementary schoolers have any idea of what they want to do when they grow up[/quote]
