[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It means you should have saved more if you are expecting $50K in financial aid.[/quote]

I don't get responses like this. Saving for college is a burden, even at that range. I don't get why this country accepts that colleges should cost that much money for anyone. I work hard for my money and was "first gen" and worked my way out of poverty. Yeah, I make a fair amount but I was a late starter to saving for retirement, buying a home, etc. Saving earlier wasn't exactly possible.

And don't say "go somewhere else." This is theoretical for us at this point, but why should DC have to do that after working his/her tail off for 4 years just because other people will get aid and they won't? It's bull---t.[/quote]

Then, your kids go to community college or a state college like some of ours will.  You are not entitled ot an $80K school.  Many of us were late starters.  My husband will be retirement age when our kid goes to college and will have to work longer than hoped.  But, he also knows how important it is to go debt free as he didn't get to go to college till his 30's.  There are other options if you cannot afford it.[/quote]
