[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hear all of this but I do not buy it because your children will not attend an Ivy, the numbers prove it.  And so I see a lot of justifying for what the realistic options are for your kids.  I believe all of you would make it happen for your child if that child could actually get in.  I do not believe in Arlington there are swaths of kids who would likely get into Harvard/Stanford/Yale/Princeton but who aren’t even applying due to the cost.

I think your posts are rationalization of your situation.   [/quote]

And just exactly how would we make it happen??? Take it out of our retirement? Take it out of home equity? Take out parent plus loans? Any of those “options” are stupid and irresponsible, especially if we have more than one kid. Tell Kid #2, yes we paid close to $400K for your sibling to go to Columbia but no, we’re not going to pay close to $400K for you bc your most “prestigious” option is Bates and Bates isn’t worth it. Sorry honey.  [/quote]
