[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People on this forum don't understand that some people can pay for any college that would make their child happy.  They don't need to save money and force their kid to go to a college that they don't want to go to.

My son has a friend that has applied to GW.  This won't crush their family to pay for it.  They probably won't even notice the tuition payment. [/quote]

“Can pay” =/= should pay or it’s a good idea to pay. Why don’t you understand this?[/quote]

DP but I said this earlier. The difference really is not meaningful to some people.

Someone mentioned earlier a difference of $40k a year. Well, when your take home pay is north of $50k a month, you aren’t going to give much of a second thought to an extra $3,333 a month for school. And it would probably be even less noticeable, because when you’re making that much college is already funded. It’s just a question of how quickly the college fund draws down, but it may not impact your personal finances at all.[/quote]

J F C idiot, pick an amount of money that is not "meaningful" to you. Maybe $50 or $100, whatever it is. Do you still not care if you waste $100 on something that isn't worth it? Possibly, because you are an idiot. Sensible people won't do that. And some of the most frugal people I know are so rich they don't have to work.

If you're bringing home $600k a year, you're not even "don't have to work" rich, but you can certainly aspire to a much better class of full-pay school than lame-o third-tier GW. [/quote]

A totally reasonable and measured response.

I said take home $600k, which is pushing $1 million in actual pay.

My sister’s bonus checks have been over $2 million a year for many years now. She could pay for my nephew to go to the most expensive undergrad, law school, and med school from one year’s bonus check and still have money left over. Her husband was involved in a start up that got sold last year; his share netted him $5 million.

Let alone the college savings, which are probably enough to cover full pay undergrad anywhere at this point.

Sorry you’re a poor and you don’t understand what it’s like to have money. But some people wouldn’t bat an eye at spending $40k a year more for four years for their kid to go to the better IR school, if that’s what the kid wanted to do.[/quote]
