[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$20,000/year from your 529
$30,000 parent cashflow (from a $400,000 HHI is not unreasonable)
$15,000/ from parent savings
$  5,500/year student loan
$  5,000/year student earnings (summer and school year)

$75,000/year

This. But you will have two in college for two years. Which means you need to start the $30k per year parent cashflow THIS YEAR so you have that additional $60k for one of the years when you've got two there. Then you'll probably have to take out a parent plus loan for the other double year. So the parent cashflow really looks like:

10th grade/12th grade - save $30k
11th grade/Freshman - $30k cash flow
12th grade/Sophomore - $30k cash flow
Freshman/Junior - $30k cash flow and spend the $30k that you saved that first year
Sophomore/Senior - $30k cash flow and a $30k parent plus loan
Junior - $30k cash flow
Senior - $30k cash flow
First year of no college bill - $30k from budget pays off the plus loan in its entirety.
