[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our 2 kids are at SLACs that are 82-84k/yr and we wouldn’t change a thing. Saved and sacrificed and funded 529s so they could have the same incredible education we had. IYKYK. If you don’t, you will surely think it’s not worth it. [/quote]

I think if you have the funds to pay cash, that's a valid choice. If you have to borrow, it's a different calculation.

[b]I would say you're really not in a position to say your "incredible" education is superior to what you would have received at a more affordable state school.[/b] I get you have some confirmation bias to rationalize your choice, and I'm happy for you that you had a good experience. But the insinuation that it was superior to someone else's is really ridiculous. As you point out, IYKYK - and you don't know what the more affordable experience was like. For all you know, it was equivalent or better, and you just overpaid for your "incredible" experience.[/quote]

Or for that matter, superior to what the experience at a lower-ranked LAC with merit aid would have been.[/quote]
