[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why don’t you have a 529? Sorry,  but you had 18 years to plan for this- it shouldn’t be some surprise that you have to crowd source on DCUM.[/quote]

I dunno, [b]most kids don’t and they seem to turn out fine.[/b] It’s not anything the kid has control over (that is, whether their parent has one or not). My kids are post-college btw.

most kids don't go to 70-80k/year schools either.[/quote]
right. Community college or inexpensive state schools. [/quote]

$70k-80k is a lot even for a college these days. I don’t think any Va or Md instate schools cost that much, nor do a lot of OOS publics or privates.

yea, only a tiny fraction of colleges cost that much. certainly not many out of state publics- I think less than 10.[/quote]

Unfortunately this assertion is out of date. A surprising number of schools have jumped up to this level or very close to it. [/quote]

I just looked at my financial spreadsheet and I paid $66,071 for freshman year (incl. room/board) at OOS public for 2021-22. [/quote]
