[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have 3 kids and do about $4,000 each year, for each of them. It's the upper limit of what we can afford, without compromising our retirement. But neither of our families were able to contribute anything to our college costs, so to be able to give each of them about $100k is a huge deal in our family. [/quote] This is about what we are saving too, and similarly my parents had nothing for my siblings and I for college so we will at least be able to give them more of a leg up than I had. As long as DH and I are still working at that point we should be able to contribute once they are in college as well. DH and his sister fret a bit more about it because their parents were able to cover everything, but we do what we can. If we can save about enough to cover in-state I will feel good about it.
