[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We did the prepaid 4 years at a VA state school when my son was born (we inherited some money from my grandma and used it to buy the prepaid tuition for DS). We put aside a little bit each month for room and board. If he wants to go somewhere besides a VA state school, he can pay for the difference himself.[/quote] We're doing something similar. Saving the cost of a 4-year public education, and then committing to split the difference between that and whatever schools my children choose. I want my kids to have a financial stake in their decisions, but if a private university is a better fit, for whatever reason, I don't want a huge cost difference to make the decision for them. I transferred from a school where he had a 50% scholarship to a pricier private school and really blossomed socially and academically. I'm very, very lucky that my parents had the means to make that happen for me. [/quote]
