[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I made about $270,000 last year and we definitely feel tight. We have two kids in elementary school and we are basically never saving enough for college. We spent over $200k on child care in the early parenting years, and at that time we couldn’t prioritize saving for college. We are fortunate to have our house, which is in an amazing school district and which we bought for $650k about 10 years ago. If we bought it today our monthly payments would be twice what we pay. I really feel for young people facing these interest rates! It seems like at least $350k would be the sweet spot for feeling a bit more comfortable, which for me would include substantial college savings for both kids. [/quote]
