[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

Links?

You expect someone to provide you with links to every school's net price calculator? Or to google for you to find schools with merit aid that will vary significantly depending on the student's qualifications. Do your own work.[/quote]

Why the defensive attitude?  You can't post an example of what to look for? Don't bring your problems here, woman.[/quote]
