[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]11:35 here. Of course all you can do is save what's reasonable, but we are doing our best. State schools are very competitive these days.[/quote]

Because people who might have been able to afford private schools several years ago can't...plus there are just more people going to college.  I personally just fear for this generation and the crippling college loan debt a lot of them are getting themselves into.  When most of us went to school (which really wasn't all that long ago), college was half the price it is today, for so many reasons.

My husband just finished up his degree not too long ago (he was on the 10-year plan after joining the military right out of HS), and he did as many of the classes as possible at NVCC before transferring to Mason.  It really is a smart way to do things financially.  Of course, I got to have the "normal" experience going away to school and being done in 4 years, so I want that for our child if it is possible.  But a lot of people are going to have to think very hard about the cost burden on both the parents AND the child before deciding which path AND school is right for them.

Anyway, this is a bit off topic and probably more suited for a college savings thread, but an interesting discussion all the same.[/quote]
