[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We do okay (at around $200K HHI until a 50% jump three years ago) but are not RICH. We planned. Used the Vanguard college calculator and saved $400-$600 per month in the 529 since birth. Limited vacations. Public school. Not a lot of meals out. DIY home improvements. No family support. Both children will graduate with no student loans. [/quote] But did you and your spouse have your own student loans? Me and my husband financed our own undergraduate and graduate education. One first gen student and one with limited living expenses support. We paid $1000 a month in student loans which didn’t allow saving for college. We make less money and do all those other things but where are we supposed to save beyond that? [/quote]
