[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand saving for college. We just pay for it out of our income. We only make $250 but $60K / year is not that big of a deal once your kid did private school for 12 years. It’s just part of the budget.[/quote] That’s also what I think, although we have 529’s. When our kids were in daycare we were paying 30k per year, why can’t we just do it again? (Granted that means choosing an in-state school and not retiring early).[/quote] Exactly. At the income levels OP mentioned the sensible thing is to cash flow it. People might moan, but it's some sort of humble brag. They'll also brag about any discount, even if they know it's a drop in the bucket, and something everyone gets. It's just not possible to understand anyone else's finances from what they say casually.[/quote]
