If you are a "donut hole person", yes you can afford to save for college.  Maybe you cannot do $90K/year but you likely can do instate/$40K/year.  That is so much more than 80% of the USA.  
Do you also complain that "it's not fair that my neighbor can afford a BMW/Mercedes, but I can only afford a Toyota"?  You live with your life choices and focus on making yourself fiscally responsible.

[/quote]Um, yes, if that person with a BMW/Mercedes has it because it is subsidized!!!!!!!!!!!![/quote]

Exactly. I am all for economic and other forms of diversity at colleges. But I think they have gone too far too accomplish this at this point. Should a rock star kid from a poor inner city or Appalachia family get some help so they can afford to go? Awesome! But the system currently involves gaming by UMC families and that should not be the goal. Going to a top school is a privilege, not a right.

When I chose to have kids, I almost stopped at one, because I wanted to be able to fully provide for them. We decided we could make two work and have been fortunate to be able to do so, though it involved some sacrifices and compromises. I didn't expect handouts because I chose to have more kids. Mind you, I am a lifelong Democrat.

Sorry - I'm currently working on wrapping up my taxes so this is all top of mind.[/quote]
