[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are full pay at a $70k Ivy and $50k private - sometimes I fantasize about taking the money and buying a franchise for DC instead [/quote] We are a high earning family and like one of the PPs are only willing to pay for in state tuition. Period. Luckily my kids are smart and took the free option. This allowed us room to set aside money for their first home. We have 2 rental properties in FFXCO and each kid will get either the rental deeded over to them and have their first home for free, and nearly mortgage free or can take profits from the sale and for a downpayment on the home of their choice and in the location they want. The equity in those homes is substantial. I feel like a free education, plus a huge boot up into early home ownership will pay off much more in the long run that an expensive name brand school that only pays off upon obtaining their first job.[/quote]
