[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Forgo kitchen renovation, any other renovation thet's a want rather than a need. Forgo new cars. Do this for 18-12 years.

This is pretty much what we lived with, as well as starting 529s once they were born.  Currently have 2 kids in in-state universities.  We saved enough for roughly 75% of their overall college expenses. The rest we are paying as they go.  No student loans.[/quote]

OP here.  We never thought to do any needed renovations other than basic repairs, only as needed, frankly.  I forgot where I am, in "everyone-has-to-have-a-white-kitchen-land". Car is 12 years old.  That old enough for you?  Lots of incorrect assumptions on this board.

Amendment: Assuming one knows the meaning of sacrifice.........how does one pay for college? [/quote]

One goes to a college that they can afford. [b]That might be a school that offers excellent financial aid, if HHI allows, or t might be a less selective school that offers merit aid, [/b]OR, it might be an in-state public. 
Or, increase your income.
