[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess I'm just surprised at the level of magical thinking that seems to have been going on, when for years the information about the costs of college has been readily available and widely discussed across multiple media platforms.[/quote]

Well, op. I’m the pp who made the list above. And even saving what I am, I will not have enough to cover a day of  grad school. So, I will research the heck out of merit and aid for undergrad with the hopes of having something for their masters if that’s what they are talking about exploring. [/quote]

DP.  You don’t need to save for your kid’s grad school.  While college is basically a necessity now, grad school is not, and any program worth doing will pay for itself, either through increased earnings to pay off debt, eligibility for loan forgiveness programs, or grants/stipends from the university for grad students.  If none of those are the case for your grad program of choice, you should be seriously reconsidering the program.[/quote]

I’m  it saying that I am paying for grad school. I’m not. I’m saying if they are thinking of a path that will need a grad school degree, like accounting, law, physical therapy, etc, I’d want to look for an undergrad that provides merit so they can save the undergrad money I saved for advanced degrees.
