[quote=Anonymous]We make 250k a year, have nothing but loan debt and a 2018 car, a house we can't afford to repair, a kitchen from 1972, and health insurance premiums that eat up what the student loans don't. I'm not going to say what our retirement savings is because it depresses the hell out of me. At this point my honest to God retirement plan is inheriting relatively modest assets from parents. Eventually. But we're going to do everything we can to make sure DC can have a great college experience, and not be saddled with our poor financial crap. (Have a few on and off years with employment, a few crises, a few moves, it could happen to you too.) Because we started our with nothing it doesn't feel scary, it feels normal. We are bucking for as much merit aid as possible, applied to colleges with that in mind, and so far that seems to be paying off. I can't imagine being in your shoes, OP, and complaining about anything. [/quote]
