[quote=Anonymous]We have a college sophomore and college freshman. We had 85K total saved (to share). Both kids chose the most affordable school out of their top 3 acceptances. They both got significant merit. Both kids put a certain percentage of their jobs towards tuition, and they pay all their out of pocket expenses while at school. We have an HHI of 180K and cash flow about 20K a year. My spouse and I work small second jobs and put all that towards college. I wish we'd been able to save more, but we were really broke (as in making less than 60K a year HHI) for a long time. We're doing okay now and between merit aid, work study, savings, cash flow and all of us working a little bit extra, we have just enough and don't need to do loans. [/quote]
